Mourning
I was mourning and feeling really sorry for myself because everybody else was either chasing fall leaves or rutting elk and I was playing slave to the system and working :frown:
On the way home from work, I came across this coyote who briefly struck this pose. I felt a little tiny bit better.

Don't feel too sorry for yourself- that's a dynamite capture!

Nice capture, and you have not missed anything in the fall colors department. :biggrin:

Did you thank him for being so cooperative? :biggrin: Perfect pose. And way to be ready!

Great portrait! I know sometimes it is hard to get out there!

Pretty classic. Well done.

You had the anti-mourning remedy right at hand...your camera! Way to self-medicate :toast: Gorgeous shot!

This is one gorgeous portrait, Richard! I would have felt heaps better if I captured this guy.
I think a Levels adjustment would add some needed contrast, though. Check it out...

Great shot!

If it makes you feel better Richard, I haven't had a really decent Coyote shot in 3 years. The one I posted of the teen coyote I saw in RMNP 2 weeks ago was the first coyote I even got my glass on in over a year. Glad you had your camera with you....nice work on the portrait!
