A lone guanaco under the iconic towers of Torres Del Paine, Chile. We had spent the morning in thick fog looking for pumas but had no luck, in an effort to get some sunshine we decided to drive up above the fog layer to get a view of the mountain. Just as we were about to get back into the car to continue our search for cats, we saw the head of a guanaco appearing from out behind a snowy hill. I rushed to get in a position where I could line up the subject and background. With the thick snow covering the entire foreground and the fog that had caused us so much trouble in the morning creating the perfect white background, it made for the perfect conditions to capture this image!
