Zack,

Nice capture of an animal in its environment, falling snow adds , as does the look at you.

Hi Zack, I love this one. Great mood and a perfect trotting pose with head turn/eye contact. The almost monochrome appearance suits it well. The only nit I can think of is that I wish you had included a larger version :wink:

Zack, I've already mentioned how I like this image elsewhere, but I'll chime in again. I think it's a tremendous shot, because it's such a wonderful environment. Not the usual green/yellow spring scrub or winter white I'm used to seeing... the grays that dominate the image really work well with this wolf in particular.

My only nit is that it feels a little tight at the bottom, but that's nothing really.
