    Dan,

    Very nice indeed, the only thing I can suggest is to perhaps lighten the eyes just a little

    Beautifully executed shot in lovely looking light. Maybe a tiny bit more room downstairs?

    Excelent exposure, colour and detail on the Coyote. Also like the look back pose. Would have liked more room at the bottom.

    Like the over-the-shoulder looks and the nice detail in the coat. Just a little more room on the bottom.

    Dan, opening this image is a total surprise as the thumbnail didn't stand out at all. Love the tonal range you have presented us with and the detail in the animal is very nice. Background is a big plus also. Agree that some more room at the bottom would have been good.

    Lovely light and look-back pose Dan!
    I agree it's a tad tight at the bottom - don't know if you have more space in the original? I would also take a wee bit off the RHS

    Nice pose and BG and I also like the grass anchoring the bottom (although also wish for a touch more). A touch of lightening on the nose and eyes (keeping both natural looking) might be worth trying but not needed.

    Thanks for all the nice comments.
    This is actually a big crop (30%?), but the 300 w/ 1.4 is really a nice combo
    and I can get away with it and not lose a lot of IQ.
    The room below the grass is a gravel refuge road that did not look good.
    This is probably the best I could do.
