22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Silence in the shelter: a moment of nature captured from the hideout
The photograph captures an awe-inspiring moment in nature, where a majestic bird of prey, wings spread wide, is about to land on the calm surface of a lake. The contrast between the bird's dynamic energy and the stillness of the water reflects a perfect harmony between flight and tranquility. The bird's feathers, in full motion, catch the sunlight as its shadow is reflected on the water's surface, creating a scene full of movement and serenity.
