Natesh Vallury, Into the belly (October theme: Light and Dark)

Captured at the Transfert Festival in Nantes, France, this mesmerizing black and white photograph transports you to a world of magic and delight. A scrap metal structure of a snake head spraying water created the mist that intertwines with ethereal sun rays. In a dreamlike haze, joyful children were chasing the mist, embodying the heart and soul of this art festival.
