Ahsees Lamba, AquaBurst (January theme: Weather)

Captured last year in early August at school, this photo freezes the moment a water balloon bursts, thanks to a fast shutter speed in aperture priority mode. The image showcases the dramatic split-second of water scattering, highlighting the dynamic movement and energy of the moment through which it was popped using a pin.
