WC#206 - Yawing Wolf

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted December 7, 20052,136 views5 comments

A nice idea to have a WC theme like this. I made this image at a time where I bought my 2.8/300. For testing purposes I went to nearby nature reserve called "Wildpark Rheinboellen". The park has also a lot of animals in zoo alike conditions. This wolf made me the favour to come closer and stay far away enough from the fence so that I was able to blend it out by using a big aperture...

Very enjoyable image. That's quite a hinge it's got in its jaw too!! Light and colours are beautiful!

Great shot, Cay-Uwe, as usual. As gross as it may seem, I like the string of saliva: it adds a touch of humor and at the same time gives a little depth to the image.
