Photo Speaks – Closer to the tan








Photography as we say “keep clicking” is like the sound of a pendulum of clock. Continous 60 seconds, 60 minutes, 24 hours, 365 days… Once you get addicted, you will never stop CLICKING…

As a photography enthusiast, I love to participate in various photography competitions around. Sony SHOOTOUT is one of them. The competition is into the final stages now. And it is time to rank the entries, if not ranked/rated already. Please visit the following link and rate them without any delay.
