23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Shadow Walker of the White Peak
A solitary Red Fox traverses a frozen, high-altitude ridge in the heart of the mountains. Reduced to a stark silhouette against the blinding white of fresh snow and the dark, looming cloud cover, this image captures the elemental contrast and the quiet, persistent struggle of life at the tree line.
