22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
King of Komodo

We set out a little before sunset for a nice hike on Komodo Island. After about an hour we found a few dragons hanging out catching the last rays of sunshine for the day. This big dragon posed so perfectly! The afternoon light was amazing, with the mountains in the background, I couldn't have asked for more!
