Took this last Weekend, got to spend about 30 minutes with this Coyote. Filled up a few cards :)

Any Thoughts?

After a little work on the branch, Better?

    What did you do to keep him there for 30 minutes?

    Great shot.

    I'm not sure what the red line is, it must be a bit of brush or something.

    I really didn't do anything special to keep her there, just got as low and quiet as I could be. After a while she got fairly comfortable with me.

    Where'd you see the coyote? I have seen them on the road up to Glacier
    Point a few times.

    It's a nice shot. As are the rest of your Yose pictures. I like the two of the
    church--they remind me of a couple I took last year about the same time :D

    Thanks..

    The Coyote was in the valley, about 10 yards or so off the road pretty close to the intersection to go back toward bridalveil falls and the road that heads toward Tioga Pass

    At times the Coyote was just out of arms reach, got a couple of really nice closeups.

    I worked on the red line a bit, it is a branch. I'm thinking the flash or something I did in post turned it a bit more red. While I was looking at the raw files from that day, that branch is in quite a few.
