Coyote

[Michael_Hansen]

Sequoia National Park
Canon 20D 70-200 f/2.8 L @ 200mm
f/4 1/125 Iso 800

I followed this guy/gal around...but he/she kept behind brush and in the shadows. This was the best shot out of about 20 or so.

Nice shot. :thumb

Too bad those branches had to be there! Oh, I know, they always are.:nod

[Harryb]

That is a sweet shot. :clap

well if you wanted to get rid of the branches then a zoo shot would do it but if you want a great capture you shoot them just like you did :thumb

Brilliant Michael, I love it.

No zoo shot could compare for a moment. The branches are just fine and belong - "context", to borrow from the flight Assignment.

Thank you all so much, I appreciate your kind words!

Michael, I love the coyote shot!

I love coyotes! The setting adds interest to the portrait, IMO.
