Comment (after close of voting period): This is a truly extraordinary pair of images! Manojiritty, have you written anything up about how you came to take them? I'd be interested to read about it, and if you'd like, we'd gladly consider publishing a short writeup in the Signpost. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 20:26, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
