Excellent composition Tom....I like the way the coyote is looking through the vegitation.Sharpness is right where it should be, as is your exposure. Most of the time being well prepared pays of....but you did really well capturing this beauty while photographing Hawks. Well done!

Nice composition and detail on the coyote. The FG being brighter that most of the rest of the image draws attention.. You almost had a perfect of example of spotlighting on the coyote.. If only his entire face would have been illuminated this would been killer. Nice effort.

wow what a nice photo .. the colours the subject the frame all of them are wonderful .. giving more room in the frame yield this beautiful image .. but if the coyote's feet weren't behind the grasses it would be more impressive!
