23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
On the sea
On a beach with rolling waves, a young boy rides a horse as birds fly above him in the sky. The black-and-white image captures the movement of the waves, the horse, and the birds in a poetic and dramatic way, conveying a sense of freedom, play, and connection with nature. The photograph symbolizes childhood innocence and the harmony between humans, animals, and their environment
