This was one of the standout's for me in the challenge. I really like what you captured here. The wolf is amazing. I think it is funny you commented on the bokeh, that was the only thing that was out of place when I voted. I wasn't quite sure what it was. No biggie, still a great photo. I like the subdued clolrs and the nice contrast in the wolf. Excellent shot! Congrats on the high ranking.
Skewsme, this got a very good score, but not as good as it deserved! I gave it a 9, only reason I didn't make it 10 because of the forest floor seemed too sharp. I really think this deserved a ribbon, it should be right up there with the fox. This is the most natural looking wildlife shot in the challenge.
Really nice capture. You did an excellent job on this one. It almost looks like a painting that would be hanging on the wall of a hunting lodge. I gave it a 7.
a very nice image indeed. the sense of menace is palpable. the colours here work really well. if the bottom left foreground were only slightly darker, that would help to bring the viewer's eye to the wolf with more power and directness.
Preserve or not, you definitely captured the "wild" essence of this beast in my opinion. And what a gorgeous animal it is, too. Also kinda neat the way that branch curves to reflect the curve of the wolf's back and hindquarters.
This is a wonderful capture. Definitely looks very natural. The only problem is strange pixelating in background - looks like unevenly applied blur, maybe.
Fabulous pose, and quite intimidating! I am glad you didn't crop in too tight, and left plenty of the background to give context to the shot. I could imagine seeing this as an illustration in a wildlife book - good work!
Yikes. That's a scary looking wolf. The forest floor looks a little over sharpened. It might help to mask that area on your sharpening layer. Anyway, I love this image, and the muted colors of the forest.
