If you will look into the eyes of the coyote you can almost read his mind. The back ground makes him the center point of the photo and gives him life. Great photo.

I like the introduction to the subject through the snow on the ground and the Coyote at the middle giving it full attention. Everything is blurred accept the subject. Nice shot.

The scene itself is unusual and nice, but the white part (half of the photo) is too much for my liking.
