 RAW adjustments were done first. Balance, brightness, cropping and saving for the web were done in ps2.

These deaths are necessary from the perspective of the rancher. Each coyote pair can kill a new born calf each spring...it is not a pretty death. The market value of that calf will be $800 or more. However unfair to the coyote it may seem, the rancher's decision to control their numbers is based on the ever tightening profit margin and the increasing demand for inexpensive beef. Death is not always pretty or fair to those involved.

Interesting subject, as it is not another tomb! I think you are a little over exposed specially with the first animal. Other than that great pic.
