"Whether you call it a luck or sheer talent. Both contributed to my victory in Wiki Loves Earth 2015 photography contest. You are not wrong to expect success if you work hard and love what you do. On 31st May 2015 I came to know about this contest through Wikipedia. Without wasting a single moment I uploaded a picture I took to enter the contest. Being a software engineer by profession, neither am I a professional photographer nor I claim to be one. I spent hours and hours in learning photography by myself out of passion . I never attended or took photography lessons or went to any workshops; but as I said, any step taken with a positive goal and hard work would bring you success one day. After almost a month of entering the contest, I came to know that my picture secured 7th position in Pakistan out of almost 11,000. I did not even expect my picture to reach the top 10 photos of Pakistan which was a huge achievement for me. On the 16th of October, I received an email claiming that the results have been announced. At first, I could not believe that my photo won out of almost 108,000 participants from 26 countries. Words cannot describe the feelings of knowing that I was the reason that my country reached the hall of fame. I am very thankful to everyone who motivated me and showed appreciation towards my work. Pakistan Zindabad."
This is the photo which Zaeem took and secured first place in the wiki photo contest.
