Great light, composition, and head angle. I really like images where the animal is looking at something else besides the camera. There appears to be a halo just in front of the muzzle.
Very nice, agree with above comments. Have you heard of the journalist/photographer who is raising the orphaned coyote in Wyoming and blogging/posting pictures? http://dailycoyote.blogspot.com/sear...max-results=20
FG and BG colors and grouping of colored bushes vs. brown grass is excellent. I love the sharpness of the animal and his attention off in the distance.
