22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Line Conflict

On a quiet day in Tarangire National Park, two zebras decided to settle their differences. I was highly anticipating photographing zebras with big puffy clouds in the sky to complement their black and white coats. The frame would have been satisfying even if they had behaved, but this was one of those special moments for which I was lucky enough to be there. This is why photographing nature is so exciting. I always have an idea of what I’m looking for, and nature always does it better.
