  1. Each photo is so dramatic! The scenes have so much depth of colour and vibrancy! If I had to pick favourites, I think I would have to choose Mysore Palace for its amazing magic and Ray of Hope for its amazing depth of spirit!

  2. These are so incredible, Sam, that I have a very difficult time choosing only three, but I guess my choices would be numbers 1, 4, 10. They're all superb! Wishing you and your lovely new wife a very wonderful Happy New Year!

  10. very difficult task to pick 3 out of 10, I would pick the monkey couple as I think to take animal shot is not easy..they can move at any minute..and the rest I pick the Offering Prayer and Ray of Hope!
