Another view of the wolf at the Wolf Discovery Center. I like the rib cage and the torn rib. Looks sharp to me.

Comments and critiques please.

Beautiful wolf Andrew! Might be tempted to brighten the shadows slightly, particularly on the shaded side of the wolf. The bones add interest to the photo, but the positioning of the thorax in front of the wolf's leg is slightly awkward in my opinion. I know that it can be frustrating to get the head positon just right, the legs, the body in position, the shadows in place....aaargh. Somtimes it all comes together, but usually we take what nature gives us. :smile:

I think the plane of focus is much better in this frame. The difficult exposure of bright light on snow and white wolf came out well, imo.

Good handling of your exposure! Nice and sharp. Really like how you captured the eyes and that stare.

Look very sharp to me too Andrew! The exposure also looks more spot on than in your previous post. The rib cage is a great addition and makes the entire images much more interesting than it would be without. I understand Gary's comment, but feel that is a minor nit here.
