Another beautiful Coyote portrait Dick. What photogenic creatures they are! As dave said, there does seem to be a very slight green cast - but only slight and I would love to have this image in my files!! A beauty!!

Dick, I like this betteer than yesterdays post as there is more eye contact. Adjust your color cast a bit and it will be even better.

Gorgeous subject, what a beautiful coyote. Neutralize the green cast, maybe even sprinkle some warmth in there with a digital 81a afterwards and you have a great shot!

Actually, there was so much red in this shot that I was removing it left and right. Will need to add some back in.

Gorgeous portrait. You can see real sweetness in this coyote.

Only nit is a bit of crop off of the bottom to avoid the wood to the left. It interrupts the wonderful BG you have here.

Great job!

Much better on the color - personally I preferred the original composition.

Dick,
The color correction has worked magic here; great coyote capture.

The coyote looks much better, but the background seems red... On the whole, it's much better. (I might try to selectively de-redden the background, but that's really difficult to do well...)

Dick, I think you are getting real close on the color and I wanted to see if you like this tweak. Bob

Great animal. The reposted version (of yours at the top) looks the best to me color wise, though I like the composition of the first one. Robert's version seems a tad too contrasty to me.
