21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Always Watching
In the verdant foliage of Uganda, I encountered a touching moment of maternal protection as I aimed my camera at a baby rhino and its watchful mother. Amidst the lush greenery, the endearing calf, tentative yet full of curiosity, shadowed the massive presence of its mother. The protective bond between them was palpable as they navigated the dense underbrush. The play of light through the leaves added a magical quality to the scene, accentuating the rugged beauty of these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Through my lens, I captured not just an image but a testament to the enduring harmony between mother and child in the heart of Uganda's wild landscapes.
