On March 30, 2015, I was at home when suddenly my wife came to tell me about an unexpected visitor in our garden. To my surprise it was a beautiful specimen of the Green Iguana (Iguana iguana). It stayed still while I took some nice up close portraits. Iguana iguana is native to Central and South America, and was introduced into Puerto Rico in the 1970s as a result of pet trade. This reptile has spread throughout Puerto Rico, where its negative effects may threaten local biodiversity.

This picture was taken at a Bengali (Indian) wedding during a ceremony called "panigrahan", which literally means receiving of a woman's hand in marriage. The concept and the importance attached to it shows the respect and position of honour women in indian society enjoy, and that itself made it a memory worth clicking.

I took this picture of coal harbor in Vancouver while travelling. I'd been in Canada for a month and the weather had been awful. desperate to get a great photo I took my camera everywhere. The day was grey but I kept my hopes up and waited for the sun to begin to set. Amazingly, all of a sudden the sky changed as the clouds broke, creating a beautiful picture

Most awaited person without whom a morning can?t be good. They (usually kids) deliver the newspaper ignoring cold or rain. Really thankful to them, without them a day can?t be started. I have taken this photo in Hyderabad in March 2013. This picture is about the people who make our daily lives comfortable.

On a clear frigid May morning around 4am, I hiked around Cadillac Mountain looking for a great spot to setup my camera equipment. The temperature was in the 20's with very strong winds which made it difficult at first to capture a picture in focus, but once the sun rose above the horizon the rays gave off a stunning glow which made getting up very early and dealing with the freezing cold worth it to capture this inspirational shot.
