• The blood trail really adds depth, contrast, and story to the image.. I can envision the process of the animal slowly dying. - .username

She hadn't been there long (still warm), and moving her carcass off the road revealed the salty silhouette from passing cars on a winter highway.

    Wanted to know if you had a high-res version of this I could personally use. I would be willing to pay for it (reasonably).

    Please let me know.

    A powerful and haunting image. I've been photographing lots of live coyotes this winter in their natural habitat. This serves as a good reminder of how tenuous our thread to the planet really can be, and makes me appreciate and respect the little critters all the more. Oh, and everybody please slow down!
