Sandy,

very moody image, and good done from composition and technical point of view...

Hi Sandy,

Lovely shot! I really like the snow falling as it adds to the atmosphere! Nice pose from the subject.

I like it.

It seems the only time I can get a picture of a coyote is when it's snowing - in reviewing mine I can't find a single one where it's not snowing.

Hi Sandy. Where'd you get this shot? I like the mood of the image... You can see that he is very alert. Must be from that fight.

Nice photo Sandy, I like the pose and the environment. Not too sure about the cut off shrub at the bottom, perhaps a looser comp with the coyote in a less centered location and more shrub?

Other then the bloody ear Sandy, this coyote looks to be in excellent shape. This is a perfect capture here and truly shares with us some fine details on this wonderful creature. Very nice work, Sandy, and congratulations on this weeks EP selection for this category too.

Woooo-hooo! Sandy, you're rockin' the place with this image. Absolutely terrific with the animal's pose and eye contact, the mood created by the falling snow, a dof that minimizes but does not reduce the importance and impact of the animal's habitat in the bg. What a score! Congrats for the EP on this gorgeous photo.

Nice capture of the coyote in its natural environment. The snow falling is a nice addition!
