Wolf Eyes

Gallery: POP PhotosPosted February 23, 2015103 views4 comments
This was taken at the Grizzly and Wolf Center just out side of Yellowstone National Park. The purpose of this facility is to take in orphaned or problem grizzles and wolves that might otherwise have to be destroyed. It also acts as an educational center. This image was captured through a game fence from a tripod. I have always been captivated by wolves' eyes. I purposely focused on the eyes for this capture.

Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014. Comments and critiques welcome.

Nice look! The color and detail are excellent. I wish his nose were a tad sharper.. Nice image, though.
