The exposure is nice, maybe a bit more light on its left eye can be done in PS, just a tad. 6. Regards, Rob.

No,this wolf was not tamed!She was a mother with two cubs and I think therefore she is looking like this.But I did a trip through Alaska some years ago and at the Denali N.P I saw a real wolf in the nature.That it happend not very often and I didn't know who was more afraid...LOL!!!But I believe that the aren't harmless.
Thank you very much for your kind comment Wolf:)

If no fence here, I would not fully trust ?
Mothers bring your kids to a secure place first.
Pff, now I can look somewhat better : great detail and a portrait expressing the character of a wild animal, which hunts for food only. Very noble.
big hugs / je t'embrasse,
Paul

A real wolf...wowww....its amazing as Char and me saw some baby wolves, which did look so cute as long as they are little:)) Later in another gamepark we saw some adults and they didnt look as cute anymore, sneaking around, long, skinny and very different! This one looks better but still I think they have some expression I don't really trust, was it nice and kind? You did capture it really well, with the right face I remember!! But beware...Think your Fritzi looks more adorable...lolll
Big hugs and kiss, Jenxx
