Ready To Pounce

We had about four inches of snow last night and it was still snowing on the way to work at 9am
this morning with the temperature at -8C/18F!!! I took one of my alternative routes to work to
avoid everyone else on the roads. This coyote was in the field just off the road and I got to
enjoy him sniffing through the snow and pouncing on a potential snack. Not a great shot, but
given that I was reversing slowly and taking it through the passenger window while snowing I'll
forgive myself. Sometimes the experience is far more enjoyable than the resultant shot!

Thats what I call concentration

A beautiful shot of the coyote tracking prey, Dave. Love the raised foot. The snow adds a magical effect here. If I were you, I would print it and hang it. It's really terrific. Vote

The concentration.

I agree with David! Far too modest, this is a great shot!

Guest		12-Dec-2007 19:03
You are far too modest,Dave. If I had taken a shot like that I would have been thrilled! You really are a multitasking photgrapher,driving whilst taking great shots like this.Were you on the mobile at the same time?!You certainly caught the moment with this one and is such a wonderful reminder of a magic moment! :>)

I like the shot but I do agree about the experience. Very nicely done!

Winter27		12-Dec-2007 03:14
Not a great shot?? Bah! What I wouldn't give to just "happen upon" this kind of shot on my way to work. You must live in an incredible place.

Tricia		12-Dec-2007 02:39
Flipping heck, for a drive by shooting, while you were actually reversing, this is a brilliant shot Dave! You captured him in a great pose, and he is really set off by the whiteness all around.
