Hey everyone! This is the same wolf from my last post. My dad and I both liked this pose better, and how clean the background is. Unfortunately, I couldn't include a larger version because the detail wasn't as good

.

We chose to crop this one a little differently, taking out the snowbank in the foreground (the bottom of the reflection was cut off by the snowbank anyway).

I'm curious to know which image you like better.

Sure love photographing these guys, and hope to find more this year

!

Love this one Jenaya. Those eyes are haunting! Good thinking in composition and cropping here.
Would love to see this in B&W...

I do prefer this one. Not having the distracting plants jutting out of the snow bank is an improvement.

I don't think the lighting was doing you any favors - but the reflection is nice and the setting is great. Would love to see this image in B&W

Another sweet wolf photo, I like both of them actually, but I like the fuller refection in this version better. You did very well with the tricky lighting in this situation. Lucky you, getting a second chance with these guys that day (no more sleeping in). Nice work Jenaya!!!

Hmmm, both nice but this one would be my preferred. I bet it looks good printed large.
