Ophthalmologist and photographer Somdutt Prasad won the Urban category of the National Geographic Traveller (UK) Photography Competition for his image "Disconnected." Shot in Kolkata, India, the photograph captures a man using a phone, mirroring a figure in a mural behind him, perfectly illustrating Henri Cartier-Bresson's "Decisive Moment" concept. Prasad waited for the right pedestrian to create a visual link between the real and painted worlds, commenting on contemporary urban life and technology. He used a Fujifilm GFX 100S II with a Fujinon GF20-35mm f/4 lens for the shot.
