14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Tiger at the National Zoo, Washington, D.C.

I love animal photography because of the ability to capture raw emotion. Unlike people, animal photography captures and untold story for a creature with no other voice. The sustainable travel project allows for photos like this to be captured, and it allows for people to see the beauty in an animal they otherwise would not be able to see.
