14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The Hawk and the Iguana

On one of the first islands we visited on the fabled Galapagos, this view appeared. Atop a small mount, stood the imperial Hawk with a prostrate Iguana at his feet. There was no movement from the Iguana, while the Hawk remained asfierce-looking as ever.
