Except for the sharpening halos , behind the tail , the image looks perfect . Nice muted colours , lovely running pose and great eye contact !!! Not sure if it needs a bit of CCW rotation , but I get the feeling , it does .

I would agree that a bit of CCW rotation would be good. I also feel a crop of the top is in order to accentuate the wolf more.

Good that he is looking at you - adds interest to the image and mid-stride adds action.

Taking on board the above comments Ishmeet will certainly help the image and get it to where it needs. The face engaging the view is a nice touch with some good detail.

Thank you all for your comments. Noted and much appreciated. Will certainly make the required changes.

[Pieter de Waal]

Good comments above Ishmeet, I do like the eye contact and colour detail in the face.

Welcome here Ishmeet...not sure if these are your first posts in "Wildlife"?
Great running pose, eye contact and image quality here Ishmeet! I fully agree that a CCW rotation is the way to go...if your FF image can handle it?

[Rachel Hollander]

Nice intensity of the eyes and I like the running pose. Good suggestions above to take this to the next level.

TFS,
Rachel

Nice light, detail, and pose. If mine, I'd only rotate a touch and go with more of a pano crop

[Harshad Barve]

little rotation and it will shine like diamond

Hi Ishmeet,
This is a good image, however I agree with what has been said above.
A CCW rotation of a little more that 5 degrees, together with a crop has resulted in the following repost.
I hope you dont mind, but the problem with the rotation is that a little bit of the image will require a bit of creative repair. I did this really quickly, so a little bit of work will result in a much better image than what I have done.
Well done and thanks for sharing.
