22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Indlovu

This photograph captures the gentle giant in its natural habitat, mid-stride as it moves gracefully through the tall grasses. The image reflects the serene yet powerful presence of the elephant, symbolizing the beauty and resilience of wildlife. I wanted to convey the majesty of this creature, its textured skin, and the quiet determination in its eyes.
