A coyote stops to howl near the Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park. Your Shot photographer Glenn M. writes, "Another pair of intrepid photographers had gone out to look for this coyote based on its howls, and the coyote ended up coming to us."

Photo of the Day: Best of July

Every day, we feature an image chosen from thousands submitted to our photo community, Your Shot. Here are some highlights from July.

In photography, patience is often key. Some of the top submissions to Your Shot this month involved staying focused on a lone coyote, sticking around for an incoming thunderstorm, tracking a bird in search of its next meal, and getting in the right place at the right time to capture a splendid sunset in New York City.

A big part of getting that perfect shot is waiting and preparing for that perfect moment.
