I agree with both of the above. The coyote holding the leg was an exceptional capture, too.
It was a very tough competition. I had really hoped for much higher scores myself, but going through the shots, there were only a handful above mine that I didn't agree with.
Very often I'm outraged to see what I consider weak shots with purty colors outscore really strong work- but in this case, there were just a whole lot of very good shots, in my opinion.
I figured that this photo would score a little higher but I think the lighting on his face was just not quite there. Definetiley a learning experience thought!
