Nujum H of Noida sent in this photograph, saying, "I travelled from Delhi to Bharatpur (Rajasthan) this month to take pictures of migratory birds. Though Bharatpur Bird Santuary is a heaven for shutterbugs during the winter season, this picture clicked by me inside the santuary stands apart. These three students walked ahead of their group to spot the birds. The sun rays crossing through the dark, misty tree leaves gave this picture an unusual feeling."
