 Winter fatigue. We will make it to Spring, but it's been a tough Winter in the mountains. This coyote is still eating well, but looks bedraggled. (Parallels my health in February!) My friends and family in Florida and Texas have picked a good season to be in the temperate zone. 02/24/17 12:28pm. Canon EOS Canon 5D Mark IV, Canon EF400mm. f/4 DO IS II USM, 1/2000s@f/8, ISO 400, lens focal length 400mm. This is high key, soft focus processing.

Soft focus does not mean blurry. I took this sharp image and softened the focus to meet the challenge. I would never submit a blurry image. An image can be soft focus without being blurry. That's my interpretation of the challenge and the approach I took with the coyote.

I like your coyote, the snow on her, the bloody past repast.

The blood on the neck is an important detail in this image, and it is a high key image. The focus on the Coyote though is sharp
