Joy of Nature

It appears to be that time of year when all the photography awards are handed out. The overall winner of Digital Camera magazine's Photographer of the Year 2010 is Jon Wright (title link). One of my favourites is in the Joy category, sponsored by the Telegraph. “Use the language of photography to describe a feeling of joy." I can't imagine a better way of capturing joy than Nimai Chandra Ghosh's Joy of Nature, which shows two village boys bathing in a pond covered with duckweed. Are they enjoying themselves? You betcha.
