Not that it is good but it is the best I have got so far. I blew some great ops I hope I can get another chance.

    Yes they are . I am thinking about buying a game call and increasing my shots.
    Rather than just hoping to spot them randomly. Which is a 30% shot .
    Thanks for looking Ed:D

    Good catch shakes...i have never really sat & looked at the diff between them & our dingo. The coyote has very fine lines...a bit fox like in the face where the dingo is a lot more like a dog.

    Not much chance of getting too close to photo one though...way too shy.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Great shot Tim! I've never been able to get so close to a coyote to take a pic.

    I did a bit of cloning in PS to show you that you it is easy to remove that grass over his snout. Also cloned out the blur around his tail. If you are offended, let me know and I'll remove it.

    Great Coyote! I was going to say that you could clone the grass.......

    Now you could jazz him up. Cut him out, put him in a bar. Photograph him in a studio. Have him walk up to a backyard with a small dog in it. That would be a good one, then how many people could criticize our doggie photos. You could put a baby in the backyard, too.

    Sorry, have had a dull day, but work, studied photography like being in college.
    Flash doesn't work, have a baptism tomorrow.

    I would like to see a coyote walk into a bar, would fit my mood right now.

    ginger (he is a good one, too)
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.
