I was driving down a shady back road along the Firehole river in Yellowstone when I saw this coyote come loping up the road. I pulled over and shot out the window as he walked past. I'd forgotten to up the ISO, so I was shooting at 1/8th of a second, but I was panning with him and got lucky. I think the blurred background looks pretty cool! (tonemapped single raw image). Yellowstone NP, Native.
