20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Arabian Oryx

The Arabian Oryx was hunted to extinction in the wild and subsequently reintroduced from captive stock. The Telal Desert Resort, where I was invited to photograph, had a 60 mi x 60 mi fenced reserve for desert impala and oryx. I was given a private safari drive in the early evening to sunset.
