21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Exile

I took this picture on August 2023 on Faroe Island near Toftavatn Lake. I took it because there was a small waddling of ducks and this specific duck was by itself. It felt as if it had been cast out by the other ducks and it allowed me to get very close to it for this picture. I identified with it as I usually feel alienated in my world.
