A curious scene captured by Indian photographer Manas Khasnabish has been commended at the 2025 Living With Wildlife Photography Competition. Titled "Monkeys in the Window," the image shows a young boy taking an online class via his cellphone while a group of primates observe from the window ledge during the COVID-19 pandemic. Khasnabish, a finalist from the inaugural edition of the competition, used a Canon EOS 80D and a Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens for the shot, with exposure settings of 1/40 sec, f/5.6, and ISO 1000.
The competition, now in its second year, is accepting entries until August 16, encouraging photographers to submit up to five images across three categories. Themes focus on human-wildlife coexistence and conservation, with a preference for authentic, respectful, and powerful images. Photographers of all skill levels are invited to participate, with cash prizes and a trip to the awards ceremony in South Africa for the winners.
