21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
3 giraffes in Etosha National Park

In October, water is scarce. These giraffes were close to a waterhole, in the company of zebras, elephants and antelopes. I wanted to show the aridity of the soil, the inhospitable nature of the place. I also framed the picture so as to show only the 3 giraffes that make up the particular design.
