Photographed this coyote at a local nature preserve. Had a nice snowfall last night. Thanks for looking.

I like this image. The use of the diagonal snow line and soft focus background really make it a good portrait. I guess if he were looking more towards the camera that would be the cherry on the top, so to speak.

I like the "knee-deep-in-snow" feeling here Dan!
nicely exposed and composed too, the diagonal snowline is a nice touch adding tension

I really like this snowscenes and know they are difficult to expose well. This if very nice and like the others, I like the diagonal line of the snow. The grasses in the background also add nicely to the image.

Thanks for the comments!

Dan - I too like the diagonal line of the snow, the bent leg, snow on the face and the grass in the bg. Well done.

TFS,
Rachel

Sorry, missed this earlier.

There is nothing to dislike in this image.

Healthy looking animal. The color of the coat as well as the grasses give this a nice, subtle golden hue.
