Coyote
Captured this coyote at Crown Hill Park. Makes a clean image when they venture on to the ice. Thanks for looking.

Canon 1D Mark2

And one more...

Was that today? Looks like some nice light and fresh snow on the lake. Now I wish I'd gone to Crown instead of for foxes.

Thanks Jay. I almost went down this morning. How was it today?

COLD!! 11F when I got there at 0730 - I couldn't feel my hands for 15 minutes after I got me gear set up without gloves.

Saw 1 fox, but was with my wife and she was freezing so we bailed after an hour, but a few nice shots.

I'll probably be at Crown Sunday.

I really like #2 Dan, the footprints add a alot. Both images you show the fox in it's surroundings very well though, very nice!.

#2 is especially nice.
Posted by Todd Caudle on January 9, 2010 at 5:24 PM
Both are really nice!

Both are very nice images. I really like #2 with the tracks leading into the subject.

Thanks for the comments.

Another vote for #2.

2 is really nice, but i actually would prefer #1 if you crop about half the top brighter portion. Nice!

2 is sweet, very clean image, and perfect light. I like the history-showing tracks. I'd crop it as to not have him dead centered.

2 for me with the lead in footprints, but both are fine shots, Dan!
Posted by Jeremy Kessler on January 10, 2010 at 3:12 PM
Both are great shots love that orange and blue contrast.

Hey Dan, good to see some images form you. I like 2 the best, but like the blue layer on the snow in both...it really shows off the cold. I might actually run into you soon. Got my knee operated on and I can actually walk a little now. Also, picked up a camo mobile blind. Let me knwo next time you are heading out to CP Park. If we set it up before sunrise, the Coyotes might walk right into us. :biggrin:
