This guy has been hanging out with another of its species lately. This was taken on a slope on the east side of my property. Note the slice in its right ear. Coyote, barb-wire fence? D800e, Sigma 150-600 @ 600, f7.1, 1/40, IS0 800. HH. Thanks for any comments or criticism.

Nicely exposed considering you had that bright BG. The alert pose with the ears is really riveting.

Great pose and great ears. I vote for barbed wire... You might tweak this a little by darkening the sunlit area on his back section, to make lighting on the jack more uniform.

Those ears are the eye catchers, Jim. You've handled the lighting well here, with most of the subject in shadow against a brighter background and the pose sure captures my attention.
