Nice choice on the vertical comp. Detail and BG color are top notch.

A tighter crop for me John, BTW is that rain in the BG?

John - like the light, color and expression. Agree with others about detail and bg. Very fine image.

TFS,

Excellent John Love the expression and bg !! Selected crop works just fine .... hoping the best for the little one with all the wolf activity, they are sure taken a beating !!!

[Morkel Erasmus]

another vote for a tighter crop without the legs :)
nice pose and super sharp John!

[Danny J Brown]

Lovely shot, great stance with nice look on its face. Good light too.

Nice BG, HA and detail John. I think I prefer cropping the legs also. If that's a highlight on the nose I'd probably remove it.

I was in Yellowstone in the middle of May. It was a little early to see many babies, except for bison and bears.
