Emerging Talent Award Title: Flow of Life Name: Elena Chernyshova Country: Russia Shooting situations This photo was taken in Srinigar, a summer capital of the northern Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. Life in the city and its surroundings are strongly linked with the Dal lake and some others to which it is connected. Houses and houseboats are built on lakes and their islands. Boats play an important role in communication. Feelings towards this work and how it interprets "At the heart of the image" Kashmir is often referred as a region of tension and conflicts. But above all it’s a wonderful place that dazzles by its beauty and impresses by the serenity of its life-flow. A woman and her daughter are passing by in the area of the Floating Gardens, leaving a rippling trial on the calm surface of water. Life is happening here. Its calm pulsation is a heart of image. Further comments I love to travel to different parts of the world and to observe common life. This photo was taken during a three-year bicycle trip around Eurasia. I used a bicycle to be nearer to people and to feel more of the environment.
