A shame he's had to learn such a lesson, but i'm glad he now knows that Humans = Bad!
This is a such a lovely portrait Rick. His inquisitive pose is great and the soft colours and light are beautiful. The setting amongst the long vegetation is really nice too - one of your best imo, well done.

The noise of a farm animal perhaps? He he...they are truly a wily creature. Hard to capture in traps and in images. In our remote wilderness they frequented the cattle ranches. 3rd generation ranchers were very good at capturing them with their rifles...It is a sort of contradiction in many ways. Man brought cattle to the natural wilderness, then claims that the coyote and cougar are coming on HIS land. The reverse is more true...but it is a sad fact of life and hence the coyote remains on the list of things that can be taken down year around without license..in this state anyway...

I never really had a good opportunity to capture this mammal. Nice image rick!

Hi Rick.
What a cute natural scene you have pictured. Image of the coyote is amazing. Its expressiveness, impressive glance and pose are fine as well as the grass which surrounds the animal. My best regards and TFS of this cute shot.

What a great capture of this lovely coyote. l have become quite a fan of this animal. They are so smart and resourceful. The color of this one is particularly lovely. lI love the pose and the intensity of his stare. You captured his spirit. Perfect focus on the face...

Did you find my note about going to Hyder this September... I tacked it onto some TN reply. My husband keeps bugging me for information : P He is "hot to trot" so to speak... or "Hot to shoot".

Hi Rick,

Our coyotes look nothing like this - they are scrawny and unattractive. Guess the hunting is better up your way. He certainly is on the alert for something! Beautiful face and coat. You captured him in a fantastic pose in a lovely setting.

What a splendid picture Rick. The tall grasses around the coyote, mostly blurred, give light and colour throughout the frame, with this fantastic animal watching for danger or prey. Everything is "blond", the coyote and the herbs. I am glad for him that he learned fear of humans and cars. Thanks!

Hello Rick,
At least three senses at work here!
A lovely pose and a great capture, the fine angle of light makes the animal stand of very well...
I notice the well groomed fur caot of the coyote!
Greetings,

Hi Rick, I don't think I've ever seen a coyote with such a good looking coat. Most that I've seen have been very scraggly. You've caught him in a good pose and in good sharp detail. I don't know what that plant is but I like the way he blends in with those soft colours. A square crop works well here in the composition, it gives him room to perk up those ears of his.

Thanks, John

Hi Rick,
I hope you are well as I read Lucy's marked post for Francine's photo a couple of days back.I sure do enjoy the sight of this young fellow as he looks so healthy and alert,in the prime of his young life.I have not had any photos of these animals that are up to much because I never seem to be able to get near enough to them.The clear air shows in this shot as you have such great detail captured and a lovely colour as well.I'm surprised by the amount of green that there is in the shot,is it possible that they may actually be growing even this early in the year?Thank you for sharing this young coyote with us. Bob

Hello Rick

What a beautiful animal.
This is a strikingly beautiful image.Post card quality.
The natural setting is just perfect for this.
The inquisitive nature and pose creates an AWE factor for this shot,and combined with your personal experiences with this coyote,it truly makes the viewer care about this animal.
It was a touching a post.

Rick,
This is such a fantastic photo of the young cayote. Perfect pose to show his profile with his head life up high. Very elegant with wonderful natural surrounding. The soft BG really set him out beautifully. Perfect sharpness and composition. I love it and enjoyed look at it time after time.
