From the same place as my other wolve shots, this one of the male, I presume, showing his dominance over the female. Not sure about the white blob...snow...around the female's head.

Paula,
Snow arounf the head is not too distracting for me and at least it is not blown out. Judging by the scar I assume this is the same pair you posted a shot of back in June. I am really impressed by this wolf sequence you are drip feeding us. Were these taken on a reserve, how wild are these beasts? and are these shots taken from hides or are the wolves aware of your presence?
Love it Paula, an animal I have a huge respect for and would like to photograph. Great detail, nicely captured, good exposure. The white also does not bother me
The whites fine and shows them in their natural environment Paula. Great looking beasts

Hi Paula
Great detail and colour, I like the behaviour shown in the shot, not entirely convinced about the composition but I suspect it was not easy to alter your position relative to the wolves. Maybe a slightly more head on shot would be more effective. However, still a great shot.
cheers

This tells me straight away that you had the time of your life with these Wolves. You sure have captured an amazing shot here Paula

Keep em coming

Good to see you are working still
I like expression on both animals faces. It looks like male is whispering to female's ear. Background is fine with me.
Cheers,
Marko
Looks good to me also.
