The angle of the sunlight falling on the plant in this photo exposes the texture of the woody bark.

Perched
Sultanpur National Park in northern India is one of the best places in the country to spot several species of migratory and local birds, including this small bird perched on a tree in the park.

Feather
This small, white feather stuck on a dry branch on my balcony caught my attention. It was remarkably light and delicate, and probably originated from a pigeon.

Buds
The buds of this plant have either died due to the lack of water, or because their season is over. Normally plants are adorned with colourful flowers and buds, but in this case the only colour present on them is brown, which is not really known for its vibrancy. Perhaps after these dry buds fall off new ones will emerge and the plant will not look so dull, but for now the plant is stuck with its appearance.
This photograph is a depiction of change and transition: The plant is in the process of replacing its old flowers with newer, healthier ones. The first step in this process is to get rid of the old flowers. The details of the buds are visible.
Two Halves
White marble statues featuring humans in different poses are a common feature of European architecture. This extends even to the gardens built by royalty. Schönbrunn Palace and its sprawling gardens are a fine example of this style. Hundreds of intricately carved statues and fountains dot the gardens, which are quite extensive.
In this photograph, a contemplative statue almost perfectly divides the photograph into two; one half is the blue sky, while the other half is the green bush.
