20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Burn

This was a Sockeye Salmon in the lake and a school was behind. The bright red eyes like burning are very impressive, but actually he lost its right eye, it took him a long time to notice my presence. It shows how tough he has been on the road so far.
