19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Hidden Valley
There a few places nowadays in the world of extreme beauty that you can have to yourself. This is one such place. I wanted to capture a photo that perfectly replicated how I felt standing the the edge of the valley with the cloud shrouded peak and waterfalls stretched out before me. A moment of pure bliss and peace. I noticed several birds would fly out from their nests in the valley below and would fly up and around the top of the valley before diving below again. I decided to try and capture one right in line with the peak of the mountain in the background and well this was the result.
