Black-Tailed Prairie Dog

[Steve Canuel]

These guys usually keep the area around their burrows pretty clear of vegetation so I was happy to get this one with some summertime growth. Thunderclouds were building and periodically blocking out the sun. I liked the raised tail and the line of flowers in the BG above his head. 40D, 400DO, f9, 1/320s, ISO 400, +1/3 EC, slight crop from bottom and left.

Hey Steve - Your prairie dog shots are always dead on and this is no exception. I love that flower line in the background too - it adds to the comp. The fur detail on the dog is exceptional as well. You also captured the fractures in the burrow mound very nicely. Well done.

Great image here Steve, with it's inclusive environment, the look and dangling paw really enhance this.

Like the pose of the prairie dog and the colors of the vegetation in the background.
