Prompt: “coyote lapping water from a shallow creek among golden cottonwood leaves in autumn, rusty legs and grizzled back” — AI-generated and reviewed for quality before listing.

Editor's note (8.0/10): Nearly perfectly matches the brief with sharp detail, natural autumn lighting, correct coyote anatomy; it is not actively lapping water as specified, which is a minor deviation.
