22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Night's reflection

As the sun goes down, a striped hyena emerges from the shadows. Bathed in the golden light of dusk, it stands at the water's edge, its reflection mirroring its silhouette. The hyena's watchful gaze and the serene beauty of the night create a captivating scene.
