Sudden Stop

Thank you for all your encouraging comments on my "High Flying Coyote" that I posted here last week. This is the same coyote a mili-second later, he seemed to plow his head in the dirt to capture his dinner. He was successful.

Canon MkIV, 600mm, 1/1600, f6.3, ISO 640, manual spot meter

All your comments and suggestions are very much appreciated

Good continuation of the action!! Maybe the image could be just a tad darker. TFS.

Cool shot - the previous one is hard to beat, nice series.

Another interesting shot that is probably best seen in a series Ken.

I like the continuation of the action. I especially like that the tail is in focus. Great shot

Other was more eye catching but this would be nice had i not seen the other. Glad he got his meal.

I think I would have had to title this one "Face-Plant" Ken - LOL ;^)

Love the colours, detail in the fur, and that lovely bushy tail. I don't know how many sequential frame you captured of this action, but if the series was mine and I had 3 or 4 at least, I would likely make a composite (somewhat similar to my previous uploads of the leaping Sifakas and Leopard at sunrise) that I'm sure would make for a real nice print for blowing up large.

Great action shot. I think previous was better but this shows some special action poses. Great

Regards, Gorazd

Totally cool action shot. I didn't catch the previous one, but love the flying foot, tail, and bit of mystery of the hidden head and catch.
