    Like the DOF and POV you have here Dan. That grass looks beautifully rich, certainly not what I'm used to where I live. I'd take a bit off the top without cropping the background long grasses.

    Well he certainly looks a little dispirited, but who would not be given the weather.

    I wonder if a minute tad of sharpening much just work here.

    Love the BG and FG here as it emphasises the sofrt light.

    Looks good to me Dan, can't help, but think he just looks rather dejected.

    The vibrant greens and muted BKG colours really help lift the subject and the bedraggled fur echos the conditions nicely. Would't touch anything other than as Hilary has suggested, perhaps a little off the top.

    Love the look of this bloke, Dan! My first thought was also to take a bit off the top

    Nice composition and richness in the image Dan. Coyote has nice detail and eye contact and love the BG. Agree with a little off the top.

    Hi Dan,
    I like the dejected look of your subject and ditto all that has been said above. I agree with Hilary about the crop.
    Thanks for sharing Dan.

    Dan - nice eye contact and the bright grasses help convey the wet environment as does the bedraggled coyote. Another vote for a little off the top.

    Nice look back over the shoulder and I like the taller grass stalks in the BG. You certainly captured the feel of the conditions and environment.
