“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” — Steve Jobs

For 30 Days, starting July 20th, we ran 'All Things Indian Photo Contest' on Photofie, powered by Flipkart. Celebrating the spirit of India, we decided to reward participants with High-Quality DSLR's to showcase their creative photography skills.

Jasminder Oberai - "Some wonderful entries. Very difficult to select one. Some give a real feel of India directly and some connect with you indirectly. For me all are winners."

Victoria Krundysheva - "They all reflect the theme of the contest, have an interesting composition and individual mood."

We received a variety of over 500 outstanding photos; all contestants demonstrated their mastery of the photography, knowledge of composition, and artistic flair.
To all the contestants, THANK YOU for participating in All Things Indian and as a community, we demonstrated so much love for photography!  We do what we do because we love seeing what you do with it.

JUDGES CHOICE AWARD WINNER

Judge's Take - "The Bird's eye view in perfect combination with symmetry are the two USP's in the picture. Looking at the composition The picture gives room for so many interesting stories to tell that have depth, meaning and purpose. A perfect timing and eyes which can see the unity among people around. The ultimate example of how you see the world and make that moment a beautiful memory."

Judge's Take - "The gaze, the eye contact, the innocence and overall feel steals it for me. When we talk about portraits, the soul is the essence of it and here one feels for the kids."
