Nice coyote capture, Sandy! This is becoming a pretty common sight up here around Valdez, Alaska. I think the crop to a panorama works well with the diagonal slope of the brush line.

It sure looks cold. . .brrr!. . . but this coyote seems like he has a nice thick layer of fur to help keep him warm. I wish I could see a larger version as I'm not sure if the coyote is a bit blurry, or is covered with patches of frost and snow? Either way, this is a great capture of wildlife in Yellowstone in the winter. Good comp with the scattering of grasses among the snow and the placement of the coyote. Pano crop works well with this scene.
