22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Stag

I went to Kanha National Park in January of this year for some tiger and wildlife photography. I usually do my wildlife photography trips off season/in winter to avoid the crowds and because the light is usually much more dramatic (fog, rain, mud). It was early in the morning and the light was dimmed by fog. I suddenly saw a beautiful stag standing in the middle of beautiful trees, looking at us.
