21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Last Light, Cordillera del Sal, Chile

I made this shot in the Cordillera del Sal in Chile's Atacama desert shortly after the sun sank below the horizon. I liked the way the man was silhouetted against the sky and the dramatic shapes of the rugged mountains.
