I am liking the wolf study. I agree with Robert's comment on the gray shades. Also the BG whites are very hot and pull the eye away in this image. Wolf's tones look good.
Hi Grady.
I like the previous color version of this girl better. I think the fur covering her left eye merges too much with the pupil and takes away any detail of the eye. Having color in the eye would lessen that impact.
