Sunset over the Canyon, by Anindya Chakraborty
I love this image. The low contrast, muted colors and blurred rain really adds to the atmosphere and makes you feel like you are there, in the moment. You feel the dullness of the scene, the lack of color and emptiness and I feel like I understand what you were feeling in the moment you took the photograph. Well done!
Lovely shot Anindya!
