oh a Coyote! - . missing the color and just seeing the head I didn't
recognize himor add him to who I thought the canine might be..
I've photographed themin Alaska , kind of made friends with one there..
and also in the snow at Yellowstone back in 1989 too.
Don't have any on the computer ...
That's anice shot of the oneliving near you.
They are making quite a strong appearance in NYC actually these days,
not so exotic...
Had no idea they were ever used for fur though... just thought that
farmers and ranchers were after them because the coyotes were killing
their stock ... of course it makes sense ..

Hi Ann,
I am quite certain that's a coyote. They look a lot like German
Shephards - at least facially.
Here's a Coyote that lives in the lakeside park near my place:
http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2015/02/coyote-beautiful.html
Coyotes are often grey or brown.
According to:
http://www.respectforanimals.co.uk/facts-and-reports/statistics/103/
47,340 is the total number of coyote pelts (presumably combined trap
and ranched) that Canada "produced" in 2,009, the last year reliable
figures were available.
As for the composition, thanks for your thoughts. I have many more
that are wider, I felt that the tight shot on this one added impact.
I'll post another one tonight. Perhaps you'll like that one more. :-)
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
cheers,
frank

It took me a while to figure out that the photo is of the head of a dog next
to a pup that looks like a german shepard, or a mix
and her pup...possibly supposed to be a wolf? certainly not a fox, mink,
sable, etc. animals that would not be harvested for fur garments..
so what doesn't work so well (regardless of which side of the arguement you
are on ) is that the poster maker appears not to have known
what animals are used in making fur garments... and sadly that the protester
is probably clueless in that regard as well...
I don't think there are 47,000 doggies trapped annually
From a compositional point of view only, I'd like it to be less tightly
cropped..

Her expression fits the subject.
The composition summarizes the event faithfully.
Overall, an effective documentary image.

As we walked downtown yesterday we saw a bunch of police cars in
front
of Holt's, a very upscale department store. An animal rights group
was
protesting fur in general, but also the fact that Holt's sells it:
I'll likely have a gallery later in the week, but until then, this
kind of sums it up:
http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.ca/2015/11/the-protestor.html
Fur trim on parkas and coats is unfortunately seeing a resurgence
around these parts. I'll keep political thoughts to myself.
Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.
cheers,
frank
