Caribou Stag Silhouette Crossing Volcanic Sand Winter in above a glacial stream near Manali

Caribou Stag Silhouette Crossing Volcanic Sand Winter

by Brooks Benton

Copper-toned light before dusk frames a caribou stag in sharp silhouette against a backdrop of volcanic sand. The animal moves through stiff, whipping wind that distorts the texture of the dark, granular ground. Distant birds scatter in a chaotic blur near the edge of a glacial stream, their forms lost in the fading brightness. Shallow depth of field isolates the stag's antlers and heavy winter coat from the soft, out-of-focus background. The scene shows the tension of a predator's patience as the wind pulls at the fur. One tuft of coarse hair catches the low light on the stag's shoulder.
