Too Close!

[dankearl]

I watched a pair of coyotes hunting for 30 minutes or so today, a lot of success
and some gruesome shots which I may post sometime. However, sometimes I forget
they are wild and although they would never attack, I got mesmerized shooting and let
them get too close.
They aren't puppy dogs!
He was not happy and the look says all you need to know.

Nice, like the light, color and especially its stare - not quite directly at you but as if it sees something just past your shoulder. And it may go after it!!!! Its left hind leg bent up like that distracts me though.

Love the look of disdain here Dan, well portrayed, yes the bent leg is a touch distracting, but the mood captured is still very effective.
Do you have any more lower room?

Dan - another nice one in the series. I too like the look of disdain. A little tight below and I would probably get rid of the white spot on the snout.

Dan,

Even allowing for my "office" monitor this looks to me to be a reaaly fine image, I love the raised leg and the less than friendly look!

You've been stocking up the coyote portfolio with some nice closeups Dan. Another nicely detailed capture.

nice pose and details again here Dan
how about cropping tight from the LHS? just for kicks (I know it'll be square)...
