Ross, so cool that you were able to capture a moment that displays the symbiotic relationship that exists between wolves and ravens. The wolf looks unperturbed with the raven perched on his back, both look off into the distance possibly scouting some potential prey. Nice!

That is awesome. The spread winged raven seems a bit less committed to full trust than the wolf does in this shot. They both seem pretty intent on something off to their left.

A very nice catch and one very beautiful wolf!
A slight crop off the top to remove the vegetation in the background looks good too.

A very unique and most interesting photo, Ross! I can see how this could be a very productive alliance . The Raven scouts the area, finds the prey and alerts the wolf. The wolf follows the raven's call directly to the prey and shares with the Raven if it makes the kill! Great opportunity and a nice capture.

This is a special moment, well captured. I really like the wolf's intense gaze to our right, rather than at the lens.

I love this photo as the wolf seems not to be bothered by the the presence of a raven perched on his back, it is almost as if they are friends. Nice work
