Coyote

Captured this image at Crown Hill Park in Colorado this morning. Wanted to take advantage of the fresh snow before it melts. Thanks for looking.

I like the paw up and the intense stare. Good space allowed as well and top notch exposure.

[Ed Cordes]

Wonderful sharpness and good control of the rather harsh light. A slight crop from the top woud make a dramatic pano.

[Robert Amoruso]

Dan,

I like Ed's pano suggestion. Great position of this guy and perfect exposure. Lots of detail in the fur and the snow.

[Fabs Forns]

Very nice catch of what seems an underfed specimen :)
Love the swift walk and total concentration on his path.

Good EXP and detail, Dan well done!

Thanks for the comments.

Nice example of winter conditions for both the animal and the habitat. I like the little sparkles in the snow and the shadow.

Coyotes have a hard life, and this image shows it off! Love the intensity, control of the harsh light, excellent details in all of the image. Love the sparkles in the white snow. And the trot pose is a awesome bonus. this image has it all. This is a definite keeper.

This is a fine image Dan...
