Blue Tit, by Kurien Koshy Yohannan

Springtime is usually associated with green grass, new foliage and blossoming flowers but the other distinct sign that everything is coming to life is the sweet song of birds. The air is filled with the sweet sound of melodious tunes as various birds go about their daily spring chores of foraging for food, wooing their partners and preparing their nests for the next generation… One such bird that I managed to capture during a recent walk in Cammo, Edinburgh was the Blue Tit. What I love about this image is the way the sunlight forms a natural spotlight on the bird and the image as a whole conjures up feelings of peace and serenity.

Photography started off as a hobby for Kurien Koshy Yohannan and over time it grew on him – so much so that he now makes a living from it. Koshy believes there is so much beauty around us that can be captured; nature is full of beauty waiting for us to capture it, if we have the eye and receptiveness for it. Koshy intends to capture this beauty through his camera lens for all to enjoy and behold. Though he loves photographing a variety of subjects, he spends most of his time photographing Corporate Events and some of his time photographing Weddings. With whatever free time he has left, he loves getting out and photographing the subjects closest to his heart – Wildlife and Nature.
