Contest from:- @walictd brother

Gama Ajkar Pond, located in Uttarpara of Khoragach Union of Mithapukur Upazila of Rangpur District, is not just a water body for the local people, but a silent haven to spend time with nature. The green environment spread around this pond and the simple lifestyle of the village has created a kind of calm atmosphere here, which makes the mind calm away from the hustle and bustle of the city.As the morning light falls, the water in the pond changes the color of the sky. The blue sky, the white clouds and the shadows of the nearby trees are reflected on the water in such a way that it seems that nature has painted its own picture.

When the air is light, the reflection on the water becomes clearer.And at the slightest ripple, that reflection breaks like a soft cotton scratch. This water play is what makes the concept of “Water Reflections” real here.In the afternoon, sitting by the pond, you can see the life of the village. Some are fishing, some are returning to yard work after bathing.Again the children are playing sports by the water. As the sun slowly sinks to the west, its golden light falls on the water creating a magical scene. Then the water of the pond like a mirror holds all the colors and feelings around.

Nature's colors are not just visual beauty, but a deep language of feelings. “Natural Colors” tells the story of the colors that surround us, that are born anew every day without the touch of artificial fibers. The blue of the sky, the green of the leaves, the texture of the soil or the clarity of the water all in all, nature itself is like a living canvas.Nature's colors become the most tender in the morning light. The first rays of the sun fall on the leaves of the trees, mixing light green with golden hues. When the light falls on the dewy grass, small rainbow-like sparkles are seen.

Then nature is calm, silent, and the colors speak softly. This is a reminder that beauty doesn't always scream to be seen, it often hides in silence.Colors become brighter and clearer in the afternoon sun. The blue of the sky deepens, the green of the trees intensifies, and the colors of the flower petals become more vibrant. The color of the sky is reflected in the water of the river or pond creating a new color mixture. Here nature not only shows its colors,Rather, it changes the character of that color through light and shadow.

A quiet environment is not just silence, but an atmosphere where the visuals begin to speak for themselves. "Calm Atmosphere and Visual Storytelling" is actually the story of those moments, where nature, light and small scenes around create a silent language. Here sight becomes more powerful than words, and depth of feeling is captured through visuals.When standing in a quiet environment, slowness is first felt. The movement of leaves with the light touch of the wind, small waves on the water, or the flight of a bird in the distance - all this is a scene. No rush, no unnecessary busyness. The eye gradually learns to observe everything, and from that observation the story is born.

Light plays the most important role here. When soft morning light or dim afternoon sun falls on a scene, it illuminates not only objects but also feelings. An ordinary tree, a path or even a pond becomes meaningful in the play of light and shadow. It is this light that gives depth to the scene, raises questions in the viewer's mind and sparks the imagination.Simplicity is one of the greatest strengths of visual storytelling in quiet environments. There is no need to show anything extra here. An empty bench, a deserted road or the reflection of still water can tell the whole story. These scenes are associated with personal memories and feelings in people's minds.As a result, the same scene becomes a different story to different people.

Pond photography has always been a different experience for me. These reservoirs in the simple environment of the village are not only a reservoir of water, but contain light, color and various stories of life. The first time I stand on the edge of the pond with the camera in my hand, I realize that every moment is different, every frame hides new possibilities.Morning time pond photography gives the most peaceful feeling. The Prothom-alo of the sun falls on the water creating a soft reflection. Then the color of the water is clear and soft, and the surrounding plants seem to be born anew in the mirror. Patience is the most important thing when taking pictures at this time.Because even a little air can break the reflection. But that break also sometimes adds a different beauty to the picture.
