23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Drone/Aerial
An owl
The shapes in the scene come together in a surprisingly familiar way: two rounded pools framed by moss and rock create the gentle illusion of an owl’s face. It’s one of those moments when nature arranges itself into something playful and expressive, offering the quiet impression of a bird calmly observing its surroundings.
