Very nice Dale,

I like the diagonal lines made by the snow that converge at the focal point. Background is good with the falling snow.
I might lose the grass? strand in front of the wolf as that draws my eye a little.

Beautiful wolf Dale, love getting looks at them in their winter coats! Nice with the falling snow. Don't mind the grass. Kicked up snow adds to this image. TFS

Nice job, like the snow being kicked up. Looks like she is in heat

kicked up snow and falling snow in BG with excellent pose by wolf makes this grand for me

Thanks for the image. I was just reading the National Geographic story titled Wolf Wars. Good to see one here. Lovely image. I like the falling snow. If anything more, I would have liked to see some more texture on the snow at the right. The grass doesn't bother me much.

Cheers,

Love the snow fall . The front paw disturbing the snow is catchy , Beautiful capture . HA could be a little better . TFS

The snow, the diagonals and the action of the wolf are great. It's a lovely behaviour/habitat shot and beautifully timed. I guess most of the snow we see is actually a little way in front of her and so no detail at that focal length and aperture?

[Stu Bowie]

The "snow wave" makes this for me, as it shows her trying to plough her way through. Good low perspective, and the falling snow adds too. I agree the blade of grass should go.

The snow on the right side of the frame is way in front of the wolf so totally OOF no texture possible..

Hi Dale Can only imagine getting one of them but I will still be trying :) Love the mood !!!

Like the cool gray tone of this one. Also like the dip in the BG. As mentioned, the kicked up snow adds a lot. If mine, I'd remove the grass but only because its just one strand. Would leave it if there were more.
