Mauro, I think this is a really unusual shot for them to be so close and to be looking at each other like that.

This looks like a stand-off between the two. Full eye contact between them and the catch light on both makes the shot. The wolf seems to be questioning why the crow is there....

I like how the slight softness of the crow shows that it was moving fast. I suspect it didn't want to hang around long enough to become a snack. Great capture.

Wow! The eye contact is fantastic! What a great shot! This looks like something off the cover of a fantasy novel. Excellent shot!

Very, very impressive. Even allowing for the compression for the 500mm, your timing was exquisitely good.Congratulations on the WP!

Great catch! It is interesting that the wolf seems so have its tail tucked. Congratulations on the WP.
