23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Dreamscape of Etosha

Standing alone yet resolute, this tree becomes a guardian of Etosha’s expansive desert plains. Captured with 550nm infrared, the scene takes on a dreamlike quality, where the tree’s crown glows in soft pink against a delicate blue sky. This fine art photograph captures the essence of stillness, strength, and the surreal beauty of Namibia's landscapes.
