“The photograph was very random for me. The moment when human beings offered flowers to a dead body was very thought provoking and emotional. I saw a giant body lying dead on the field, and human beings offering flowers at one part of the body of that dead animal. So, I thought of capturing that part of the animal only, rather than the whole animal,” ‘TNT’ quoted Anupam Nath as saying.
Nath added, “It’s a big thing to get a small photograph published in TIME. I am very happy to see my capture getting a position among thousands of brilliant photographs.”
