wow. I don't think I would want to be on the receiving end of that snarl. I have had many coyote encounters, never one like this. I am amazed that it stood it's ground. excellent capture
Great shot! This doesn't look like a zoo to me, so you get extra points for having the guts to get this close. I wouldn't get close enough to take a shot with a 1000mm lens.
Was this animal alive at the time of this picture? If so... this is quite a moment captured. I can't help but feel that this animal had a great taxidermist. Again, if this shot is of a breathing animal behaving like this... many kudos.
Ahhhhh, scary! Did you return home with a few cuts and abrasions? Honestly I feel this is lacking color, the coyote look almost stuffed. Some more sharpening and some saturation and it would be a nine.
YIKES! I plan on only voting for the "not your typical" shots this challenge. This certainly qualifies. Very intense. Like the centered composition with the head just off centered. Is this in the wild or a preserve of sorts? Good Luck -9-
Wow...I hope that was done with a high-power zoom lense...I'd be running the other way! Curious if it's in a captive place or really in the wild. Nice photo!
What in the world? Either you had a long lens, you're a bit crazy to be this close, there is a fence the viewer can't see, or this coyote has been to a taxidermist? This would really jump out if you could see the eyes.
