Dear Vandana!
Amazing wolf. Der Steppenwolf? Do You remember roman by Hermann Hesse? Amazing point of view. Dangerous work. Be careful!
Cheers!

Salut Vandana,
C'est frustrant lorsqu'il t'arrive une chose pareil alors que tu es fière de ton travail
Magnifique ce portrait, on dirait qu'il pose pour toi et puis ces nuances beiges s'harmonisent parfaitement.
Bonne journée

Hi Vandana,
I got the answer for what I asked you before. I feel sorry for that. So, here I rewrite again...

I like the pose, and quality of this shot... details, sharpness and clarity. And it must have been a very nice wolf photo session with a professional wolf photographer.

Impressive, Vandana!
We have a park (near Golden in BC) a few hours away from where we live, that I wanted to visit. Probably not this year, since we are going to Austria for vacation, and then of course, Montreal for TL meet.
See you there!

hello Vandana,

im so jealous, jealous, jealous of you because you got to take shot of this beautiful grey wolf from near (my. no. 1 fav. wild animal in the world - the grey wolf) one of my wish is to see them from near if possible hug them..

do you know why i like the grey wolf so much? among many things they are very loyal and faithful to their family and protect them very much.. and of course they only mate one for life unless the other alpha died.. i have so many books about this animal. even i have some shirts given by my friends because they know i love this animal.. since i watched animal kingdom so much and national geography esp. showing about wolf i will take leave just to watched the documentary which always fall on working day.. hehehehe.. i could talk 9 to the dozen about them but im afraid you will get bored..

im going to put this in my fav. thanks for showing.. well capture with excellent detail and composition. hope to see them one day.. pssttt my other nickname or pen name is shadowfang :D hahahaha..

regards, terry

Thanks for sharing all the camera setting tips. I think many/most digital cameras provide good results at 800 ISO now. That was likely the reason to use that setting.
The rest must be about being ready and getting the action. Excellent FG driftwood with the main focus well posed on top. Good focus and DoF. Obviously you were ready for his smile. TFS. K2

• [2008-03-31 15:47]

Thanks for the interesting note, Vandana... I guess noise levels should be totally acceptable in daylight at 800 ISO, especially for downsized pictures. Absolutely not visible here. I like the colours, it's almost all in the same tonal range, isn't it? Excellent sharpness, but at that speed I guess that's normal. I like how Kailani's paw is opened up like this, for optimal grip on the tree trunk.
And hey, that's a beautiful name too. Must remember that if ever I get a female shepherd ;o)).
