Varun Raj writes: "The picture is special and usual to me because I like the spirit it conveys through the boy covered between the feathers of the pigeons. It conveys the thoughts of a child, the irrational sense of hope and positivity."

Ayan Deb Barman shares this picture with us and writes: "I was waiting by shores in morning in Galveston Texas for others to come down. I had my camera and got enough time to take a few pictures. This is my favorite -- an old couple having morning walk on the beach all by themselves. It's like they don't need anyone else as they have each other!
