 Since the Grey Wolf recently came off the endangered species list, I thought it would be a good representation of "life"

This was a mess, and I really don't expect it to do well. It was shot through chain link that I could not get closer than 3 ft to. I had to clone out the blur from the fence across his face, and I wasn't all that successful. It's also out of focus and dark... So here goes nothin.


post challenge, totally called it! This one sucked! :-)

Kinda like the blurriness of this. Gives it a painted quality.

Very cute but way too pixelated.

Good composition and toning. I think you over cropped though - your equipment is not up to the task. I think you did well with what you had to work with, creating a painterly styled image to overcome the lack of resolution or focal length.

To me, not sharp enough and it falls a little flat.

focus isn't on the eyes and with such a tight crop on the face that lack is amplified.

Very cute wolf (can wolves be cute? I think so), but the focus is caught on the nose. I suspect this way taken a long way away from the wolf itself.

The wolf's eyes aren't sharp enough.

Looks like an Art filter was applied... a bit blurry.

Seems a little grainy on detail. Even with the severe crop that this obviously is, I am sure you had to be pretty darn close to this wolf.

Excellent capture, wish it was a little sharper/has a little pixelization(?) to it like it was cropped too much.

Wow fun that you have a shot of this, but it seems cropped in too tight from a much larger image and has lost some detail.

I am a wolf person - Wish he/she was a bit more in focus. But still - what a beautiful creature!!
