Wolf with Food(C)

Hi Andrew,

Nicely focused and the exposure appears to be right on. The bright spot on teh nose distracts me from looking at teh eyes. I wonder if you could selectively reduce the brightness of the nose spot. Other than that, I like this shot and shows the harshness of nature.......................Jim

If you shot this in raw you may be able to save all the highlights, but this works pretty well as shown. The protective pose over that bit of rib cage makes for strong mood. It seems the best focus is a little beyond the eyes and face, at the distance of the rib cage and the back legs of the wolf. Careful post processing to add some sharpness to the eyes may improve the overall effect.

This could have been shot in the wild, it like that! I think you managed the exposure quite well with good shadow detail. reducing the brightness of the brightest areas may perfect it though. Lon is right about the focus being slightly off and indeed this is a scene whereby the camera would probably struggle to focus on the shaded head with so many bright areas around it. All in all a very compelling image though.
