A Perfect Flutter. Finalist, Mobile. "I took this shot at Gangasagar Mela. The Gangasagar Mela is one of the biggest religious festivals of India. The patterns formed by the drying saree in the wind, as well as the light and shadow play, attracted my attention. I was able to complete it by adding the presence of a lone man." #

Backyard. Finalist, The American Experience. "Curtis, Kate, and Jude, siblings, lay in their backyard in Watford, North Dakota. July 6, 2017. The Long family has five children whom they homeschool. Western North Dakota attracted families from across the nation during the recent oil boom. Watford, like other rural towns in the region, is now facing unemployment and overdevelopment since the decline of the oil industry." #

Care. Finalist, People. "Care goes beyond gender. I went to the small slum near to my house in the morning, and I saw that this man was feeding his grandchild while his daughter, the infant's aunt, held him. It shows me something different than my society. In Bangladeshi society, care work is usually done by a female member of a family." #

Bear and Salmon. Finalist, Natural World. "This brown bear successfully captured a salmon in Kuril Lake, Russia. There is no happier bear than a bear with a fresh salmon in his mouth! The bears at Kuril Lake are in a state of hyperphaghia, meaning they are always hungry. They must gain weight before the winter’s hibernation, and catch up to 40 salmons a day to achieve that." #

Birthplace of Statue. Finalist, Mobile. "A sculptor shapes a statue from stone using his professionalism, strength, concentration, art, and time. Photographed in Myanmar." #

Pinnacle of Existence. Finalist, Natural World. "Energy travels hundreds of miles across the ocean and comes to a dramatic end when it reaches our shores. Photographed in California." #

My Post-Irma Street. Finalist, The American Experience. "This photo was taken right after Hurricane Irma hit Miami. This is my 5-year-old son walking through our neighborhood." #
