Nothing is more intriguing and fascinating than looking through a photo contest and digging the winners and runners-up. It's a great challenge for the contestants as it is for the judges, which one you liked the most? As we all know, behind every single photograph. There's a story that somebody took the time to capture, a moment frozen in time where we can go back and simply relive the moment. Here's a little glimpse of the world through the 13th Smithsonian Photo Contest.
