The next couple of posts will be Spirit & Denali from today. Spirit was a little rough on her mate last night and he was limping just a bit from it all. When we got there today, he was chomping on a leg bone from a deer kill. He looked liked he was in wolf heaven, gnawing and licking the delicious tasty treat! We took several images in grey overcast skies, soft light and a slight mist. With Denali getting older and the arthritis getting worse, he does not run around much. Although he gave Spirit what for, when she tried to take the bone away.
It is hard to get anything more than portraits when Denali does not move around too much. So Let me know what you like here if you can. I will be posting an ink filter version in the desaturated forum for comparison. Which one do you like best? http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...413#post165413

I like he tight composition Might try altering the bg the reddish top takes me eye away from the wolf. Checked out the link and its good work but prefer the original. Excellent image !!
Hi Grady,
I prefer this one over the linked image but I personally like colors :). The first thing I thought of when viewing the other one though was that it would look good on a pamphlet.
Grady,
Steve is bang on target. I was about to say that the other post looks like a sketch before I read Steve's comment. It actually looks like a pamphlet print.
I like the original post better. However, I would prefer a much tighter crop from the top. You can also cut off the ears and crop it. The eye is engaging. I find the whites a bit hot. You may work on it a bit.
Denali, Captive Wolf
