I like the stop action pose. Jack, by cropping so close you have a documentary of the coyote. Unless you have distracting elements you had to eliminate, it would be nice to see a bit more of the environment. Also I can detect some reflectivity in the eye, but it is hard to see at the web sizing...perhaps that could be enhanced in post processing.

A fine image of the coyote running, Jack. Do you have any taken a few seconds later, when the coyote would have passed the bush behind it. The latter has the same colour tones as the coyote itself, and is also too close to it and so there isn't enough contrast between the two.

Hi Jack,
I like that the front leg is caught in a raised position and how the coyote appears to be "on a mission". I'm not a big fan of the crop here - and I agree with Lon that it removes a lot of potentially valuable contextual info from the image (and thus shifts it to to more of a documentary image, as Lon pointed out). It also leaves me with the impression (right or wrong) that that motivation for it was more to remove distractions that to support the subject material? But, it's ALWAYS nice to look at images of coyotes!
Cheers...
Brad
