29 Of The Most Impressive Shots From The “inFocus” Nature Photography Of The Year 2022 Contest
#9 “Jailbreak”, Winner, Wildscape & Animals In Their Habitat
Barn Owls on window sills, inside abandoned buildings, chimneys or even in a mall! We have seen them all. The most widespread land bird species does not take its title lightly. But here, the bird seems to be seeking refuge in a rather unusual location. The camera trap image shows a Barn Owl flying into an abandoned Mumbai Police van. Well, if you are looking for a safe habitat!

We think that without any doubt, organizing a competition on this scale must not have been easy, and to prove the said statement, Radha gave us an overall timeline of how long it takes to organize something like that.
“It takes our team close to 4 weeks to put together the website and communication plan before the contest is announced. We normally keep the contest open for submissions for 3 months. It takes us about ~3 months to complete all rounds of judging, verification and deliberations and announce the results. A key element to the contest has been the grand award ceremony that takes place at the Nature inFocus Festival, along with the photography exhibition that is held at the Festival venue. In the last three years, due to uncertainties and logistical troubles that the pandemic has brought in, we haven’t been able to offer this to the participants, and that has been a challenge. We are grateful to the participants who continue to participate and submit their entries!”
