Dearly Beloved

Photograph by Bartek Olszewski , National Geographic Your Shot

I was so lucky, says Your Shot member Bartek Olszewski , who found this scene on entering London s Richmond Park on a July day. He began taking as many pictures as he could of the rutting stags. It only lasted a few seconds, he says. I love to watch and track red deer, finding them and enjoying their natural behavior. I have my camera in my hands at all times when I m going out to take pictures. Always be ready wildlife is unpredictable, so it can surprise you at any time.

Olszewski s picture recently appeared in Your Shot s Daily Dozen .
