Missed Opportunity

Poor shot of rapidly-moving Coyote

Just as Becca and I started out this morning a Coyote flashed across the trail ahead of us about twenty feet away.  It paused in the desert as I fumbled to whip my FujiFilm camera out of its case.  The Coyote wasn't waiting until I got my camera out; it was waiting for two other companions:  another female and a large male.  They were moving so fast all I could do was point my camera and shoot wildly, the result of which is the awful image of the second female.

What grade would you give this landscape?  Look closely
