23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Gentle Eyes of the Rainforest
Cradled softly in caring arms, this young spider monkey gazes up with quiet curiosity and trust. Its wiry fur and expressive eyes tell a story of both fragility and resilience, a small soul shaped by the rhythms of the Panamanian rainforest. The close-up moment reveals the deep connection between people and wildlife that defines daily life in the Emberá community.
