Another shot from my son's and I Yellowstone trip. This coyote was taking a nap after feasting on a wolf killed cow elk near the road side. All comments and suggestions very much appreciated.

Very Nice detail in the fur gotta love that look. I catch myself thinking the head should be looking just a tad more to the left as we look the picture.

Very nice image. I like the detail and the pose. I wish there was more of a catch-light in the eyes, that would realy set it off I think. But that is minor.

I do wish for a small amount of catch light in the eyes too bring them out, but otherwise and outstanding shot Ken..

Great winter coyote image. Makes me wonder what he's looking at. I wonder if this is a little oversaturated or if he had a very reddish coat. I kind of miss those winter Yellowstone road trips... or any road trip for that matter! We are getting a little more sun these days so getting some wildlife photos might be a possibility once again.

A catchlight would be nice, but I'd be pretty happy with this one as is, Ken.

I agree on the catchlight - but - this is one fantastic shot as is IMO!
