21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Majestic
Over the years, I have taken many portrait and profile photographs of the ‘king of the beasts’. This picture, of a truly beautiful male lion who I came across while in the Maaasai Mara in October 2023, is particularly striking. I loved how his mane shimmered in the wind and the sunlight while he stared intently into the distance.
