    Again I'd love to say this was a wild animal, but it was captured at Parc Omega, Quebec. A drive through animal park. This coyote was the shy one of the group always hanging back.

    I still can't get over the image quality difference between the D300 and D700. This image taken from voer 140 yards and cropped.
    Thanks for looking.

    Nice shot Paul. I like the star pattern of the softly lit branches behind the animal.

    A handsome animal for sure. I like the balance with the tree and of course the stare. You might wish to tone down the lightest bough above and to our left of the animal's head.

    I agree with the others as well as toning down the brightness of the tree trunk.

    Really like the stare he is giving you. Like the clean background as well.
