Coyote in Yosemite Valley

[Joerg Rockenberger]

This image was taken almost 3 years ago in Yosemite Valley. I cloned out two OOF foreground grasses.

Thanks, JR

Canon 40D, 400 F5.6, 1/1600s, F6.3, ISO 800, Manual Exposure, Don't remember if handheld or on tripod

lovely pose and exposure here Joerg - I love how the coyote pops from the bright surroundings, with just enough detail in the snow to make it sit nicely as a whole.

Very nice. Like the over the shoulder look and the position of the ears.

Hi Joerg,

An absolutely sublime image of a coyote in a pure snow back and foreground. I love coyotes and this one looks extremely healthy. Wonderful use of techs to make this a true winner. You nailed the tawny eyes in this beautiful shot as well. Great work.

Awesome Exposure John. Great details.

[Joerg Rockenberger]

Thank you all for the kind feedback. Yes, in addition to the detail in the coyote I love the details in the snow. Took me 3 years on BPN to figure out how to bring them out... :) Thank you all.

Beautiful coyote with some great detail. The pose is nice as is the subtle little drifts in the snow.

Thanks Steve. JR
