22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The Watchful Herd
A herd of springboks in Etosha National Park move cautiously through the arid landscape, their gaze fixed on a pair of lions lurking in the distance. The out-of-focus forms of the predators, a lion and a lioness, heighten the tension in this moment of survival, as prey and predator share the same unforgiving terrain. The image captures the fragile balance of life in the wild, where every step is shadowed by danger.
