I like the alert pose as well as the nice colors in the wolf. Does look a bit soft, but subject carries the image IMHO. Thanks for sharing. Did it get the mole?

Ok, this shot caught my eye as a thumbnail! I adore this image. The focus of the animal, the stance, the soft lighting. Kudos! But, the question is: did it catch the mole?? ;)

I like the anticipation on his face. i think the image can use a tiny bit of brightening.

Cheers,

Hisham.

A nice capture showing the hunting activity, Ken! I have to agree with the suggestion to brighten it up a bit. Maybe even a tiny bit of added contrast also. you've got quite a bit of room before you max out the white highlights.
