Sidelit CoyoteSidelit Coyote – Nikon D300, f6.3, 1/1000, ISO 640, +0.3 EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light, not baited or called in

Last November I spotted this Coyote (Canis latrans) wandering in some dried vegetation close to a roadside. Although the lighting wasn’t optimal; meaning that the sun wasn’t directly behind me, I wanted to take some photos of the Coyote because I liked the rim lighting on the right side of the Coyote’s neck, muzzle and ears. Even though the setting is rather busy the Coyote stands out well and I like the direct look I appear to be getting from it.
