Fly Coyote Fly

This is also from early in Yellowstone. I took a long hike with heavy equipment in the snow to get close to a coyote. At some point I lost him and decided to walk back only to find him right behind me about to pounce. It was such a big leap that I managed a few frames even with my rather slow 6 fps. Oh and he missed!

Hisham.

You make it sound like you got a lucky shot, but the photo shows that you were well prepared. Nice to get the action stopped without overexposing the snowy background. More than just luck I think enlightened

The Coyote may have missed but your catch was perfect.

The image we all hope for!
Might be a little soft - hard to tell without a large image.
Great catch, at any rate!

Great timing. This would make me smile if I achieved this pose. Just an alternate thought, but how about experimenting with some other formats, perhaps testing if a vertical would accentuate the height of the jump? Techs look excellent.

He may have missed, but you didn't. I think you caught him just right.
