Yellowstone NP, 2010

Just in from 5 weeks on location, ending with two plus FANTASTIC weeks in YNP. The coyotes and wolves proved outstanding, with fox almost non-existent. I believe the decline in wolf population has allowed the coyotes to propagate, driving off the fox.

1D Mark IV, 600mm, I left a slight bluish cast to better emulate what I saw through the viewfinder.

Like the BG fading out and the tracks and hills giving some foreground interest. Stellar work as always. Natural colours and you look like you do very minimal in the way of enhancing the image.

Nicely done, I like how the BG fades to nothingness.

Very nice Chas.

I like the lead in line made by the tracks. BKGR is excellent as well.

Fantastic image; you are a master at correct exposures - and all the rest of photography too!!

Excellent exposure and details, I like the composition too.

Another kudos on the fading BG. I also like the loop that my eye travels created by the coyote, tracks, and the snow ridge line that he's on.
