A coyote in Yellowstone National Park foraging. I snapped the shot just as it spotted something in the grass. With its ears drawn back, you can just see the corner of its mouth drawing back into a snarl that followed just after the shot.

Standard Photoshop filters were used to adjust color, contrast, exposure and sharpening.
