At the backwaters near my hometown, I spent a week atop a hillock capturing this scene. Shooting against evening light came with challenges—wind, shifting light, human activity—but persistence paid off. One evening, everything aligned: a black-winged stilt fed below, wind stirred ripples, and golden light painted patterns on the water. This image reflects both the wetland’s beauty and the dedication it takes to tell such a story through photography.
