I keep coming back to this. I'm in awe of the focus and detail in what should be focused and detailed, while the surrounding reeds and brush are just blurry, tone-filled ambiance. It's really an amazing shot. I'd wager the vast majority of photographers would have gotten their AF hung up the foreground brush. Sniper. And the detail in the fur is also incredible. Hell of a lens you've got there.

Nice capture; the soft dof of field really brings out the coyote. Good job.

The clarity in the main subject adds to the sense of the dramas, and cycles of life. The background bokeh creates a stunning effect topping off a well captured and ribbon winning entry IMO.

My equal top pick of the challenge. The composition and the bokeh from the tall grass is what makes this shot for me. 10.
