18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
What's so funny?

When driving through Iceland, you are bound to see horses. I became obsessed with their beauty, particularly their impressive manes. If the horses were fairly close to the road, I'd make my sister stop the car so I could get out and take pictures. This one came right up to where I was standing. While trying to get "the shot" I'd been dreaming of, it started doing this...almost mocking me - saying "you want that beautiful shot?? Not today, lady. Not today." And then it felt as though she was laughing at me.
