This image was captured during a very heavy snowstorm. It was close to a white-out. Along with the wide open aperture, all the snow created a lot of white negative space around the coyote.

Thanks for all the fine comments and solid score. This image was below 6 after 40 votes. It's been more appreciated during the last 100 votes. I doubt it will ribbon, but I do hope to be in the top 10.

This is such a great shot, Richard. It's hard for me to understand how these shots even happen, to be honest, based on where I'm at. I'm imagining you very cold, for a very long time. Repeat that for 17 years and once you get lucky.
Regardless, it's a fantastic shot, and perfect for the challenge. Congrats on the HM.
