Floating Grave
The photographer was studying a dry stream bed in summer in Maharashtra’s Matheran forests. He found a swarm of insects hovering inches over a shallow puddle in which honeybees and flies that had died could be seen afloat. The image was obtained using an underwater light and a diffused flashlight that illuminated the gently floating insects and the tiny particles dotting the water around them.
