21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Dusk at Masai Mara

This is the most satisfying photo I captured this time in Kenya. It features the "Jesus light" (lasting less than a minute), acacia trees, and a family of elephants all in one frame. A good photograph is the result of the perfect alignment of time, place, and subjects.
