Wow - excellent shot, Frank! I've never even managed to point a camera at a coyote though I see them every now and the out in the field. That *is* a handsome coyote with the auburn fur.

I have no idea where the term "Coyote Ugly" came from because these are 
beautiful animals! First time I've ever seen one up close.

Down by the lake yesterday two of them rounded the corner about 40 yards in 
front of me. I thought they were dogs and was looking for their owner. Then 
they walked into some brush and decided to make a run for it, right past me on 
a path.

I had my M200 f4.0 on the camera and everything on manual so I just snapped and 
hoped for the best. It appears I had pre-set the right exposure and out of 
about 1/2 dozen I was able to shoot, this was the most acceptable. Not as sharp 
as I'd have liked and the framing is not the best (it's full-frame other than a 
bit cropped of the left for balance) but I can say unequivocally it's the best 
wild coyote shot I've ever taken:

Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.
