    Haven't been on lately, so here is another coyote from the winter wonderland during snowcoach tour.
    D300, 400 2.8 w/1.4tc, 1/2500, f5.6, iso200, man exp, HH.
    Thanks for looking, comments and critiques appreciated.

    I like the image right now, though I would be tempted play with the cropping and maybe take a little bit off the top (or top & left to keep the ratio the same). Also, for me the river (highlight by the rear leg) distracts a bit. Some of the things I really like are: the lighting (which is very nice), the DOF & sharpness, and the soft hues in the background.

    Todd - That is one awesome coyote shot, my friend, and the snow is perfect.

    Very nice image here Todd, the detail and lighting really enhancing here, also a big plus just for being able to HH that 400+1.4 monster!

    Hi Todd ... get a monopod :) Handholding that big lens is no fun !! ... made a very sharp image !!! Not much time getting out and setting up from the snowcoach !!!

    Also like the exposure/processing for the light from the left !! Just one sweet image !!!

    Hi Todd. as I have said before, an animal I would love to photograph and is on the wish list.:)

    I like it as is and would not change it, although I am not sure about the white 'trail' that leads from the tail, right.

    cheers

    love the light and pose Todd - and the knee-deep-in-the-snow pose...
    I would love to get a chance to photograph some North-American wildlife in the snow one day!

    I like the look-back pose, comp, and light, Todd. The only thing I might tweak is the very bright area just behing the tail. Well done.
