Birds and Trees, by Saniar Rahman Rahul

While walking inside the Jigme Dorji National Park, one of the largest biologically rich areas in the Eastern Himalayan region in Bhutan, I saw these trees. For a distance it seemed these trees had some leftover colorful leaves, but after reaching bit close I realized they were red and yellow Scarlet Minivets. It was a magnificent sight that I could hardly able to capture in this photograph.

Saniar Rahman Rahul was the first winner for ‘Photo of the Month Award’ in June 2010. He was fascinated by seeing his father taking pictures with a camera while his family was in Iraq during his childhood. Later in life, in 1997, while he became very much attached with his profession of ‘graphic design’, Rahul rediscovered the creative side of photography. He started his career as a professional graphic designer in October of 1995, in a pre-press house called Color Scan, which is one of the pioneers in the pre-process printing media in Bangladesh. Afterwards, he moved to Power Point, another pre-press house. Before he finally settled into advertising, he also worked in an IT company called Abtab IT. Moving to advertising from printing media was a big step for him. In 2005, he joined G3, a special wing of Gray Worldwide. Two years later, he moved to Paper Rhyme. Now he is working as the Art Director of Grey World Wide, one of the ten largest advertising agencies in the world.
