Dan,

Nice image. I love the flattened ears.

Best,

Chas

Like the DOF and POV you have here Dan. That grass looks beautifully rich, certainly not what I'm used to where I live. I'd take a bit off the top without cropping the background long grasses.

[Ken Watkins]

Well he certainly looks a little dispirited, but who would not be given the weather.

I wonder if a minute tad of sharpening much just work here.

Love the BG and FG here as it emphasises the sofrt light.

[Steve Kaluski]

Looks good to me Dan, can't help, but think he just looks rather dejected. :bg3:

The vibrant greens and muted BKG colours really help lift the subject and the bedraggled fur echos the conditions nicely. Would't touch anything other than as Hilary has suggested, perhaps a little off the top.

Love the look of this bloke, Dan! My first thought was also to take a bit off the top :5

[Brendan Dozier]

Love that look, beautiful color, excellent IQ, Dan. Like the composition, and amount of habitat, nice work!

[Marc Mol]

Love the comp and colours here Dan, agree on cropping some off the top also.

Nice composition and richness in the image Dan. Coyote has nice detail and eye contact and love the BG. Agree with a little off the top.

[Mark Wiseman]

Hi Dan,
I like the dejected look of your subject and ditto all that has been said above. I agree with Hilary about the crop.
Thanks for sharing Dan.

Dan - nice eye contact and the bright grasses help convey the wet environment as does the bedraggled coyote. Another vote for a little off the top.

TFS,
Rachel

Nice look back over the shoulder and I like the taller grass stalks in the BG. You certainly captured the feel of the conditions and environment.
