Photographer Cristi Vasile captured a stunning image of a stag’s breath visible in the cold morning air at Bushy Park in southwest London. She arrived before sunrise and used the sound of the stags’ bellows to locate them, positioning herself strategically for the light. The photograph shows the warm breath of the deer as it bellowed, made more prominent by the early morning sunlight behind the animal. Vasile emphasized that although the shot seems spontaneous, extensive preparation went into capturing this moment.
