15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
watched in the jungle

For this picture, I wanted to show how elusive and discret are the animals in the jungle. There, under the canopy, you have the permanent feeling of being watched, without seeing anything around most of the time, because animals know how to disappear in the environment. I wanted to illustrate that feeling.
