Hello TL, here my 3rd photo of the wolf Park in Indiana Wolf Park, and I am still alive :-)

The wolves here reacted to birds flying over and making some noise ( I think they were Ducks, I looked to the wolves through camera). These are Wolfgang, Wotan and Rudie.

A wolf is 24 hours on alert , concious and during sleep subconcious.

Being there and somehow accepted by the wolves, I realized there was a calmness in me which felt nice and natural.

After I looked to all the photo's at home again it made me aware I was a guest in a wildlife environment,
just tolerated !

I hope that at least to some friends in TL I made a point in saying that wolves
have been slaughtered due to wrong misunderstandings from humans.

Before the 'white man' set foot in America
Early Native Americans * Indians* existed together in harmony with the wolf.
Respected him as a wise and cunning hunter.

Good thing is 'man kind' realized the wolf also played a big role in the right balance
of nature .. praying on weak and sick animals, this way only the strongest of species
were able to propagate

Well TL, enough talk , forgive my enthusiasm , but I am lost:
I LOVE THEM (*_*)

Thanks for your time and ideas

Vandana

Hi Vandana,
Not every picture is a good picture. But this one is an exception, it is a great one! Particular the pose, the brightness might bee a bit tending to the OE, but it is the pose of the wolves which is excellent captured! If I prefer the "Dutch scenes" or the "wolves" well, if compared, they are both great. Love this one too! Great brave shot Vanadana!
Hans

Hello Vandana,

All I can say: an impressive shot. You made a great job with the wolves. Congratulations!

Regards,
Sorina

Hello Vandana,
I understand your enthusiasm! They are wise and beautiful animals.
Thank you to show us this beautiful photo's!
Kind regards,
Frieda.

Hi Vandanna ^^
Waouh ! I would like to see wolfs and take a lot of picture of them ! Your picture is really excellent, the colours and the composition are excellent.
Cheers,
Nadine

Hi Vandana,
Your wolf pictures are just fantastic and your note to explain about them is a great help to understand more about this beautiful animal.
I love the pose in this shot, colours are good and I love the way you have framed it.
Keep the series coming.

Bonsoir Vandana,

I'm sorry to have missed up to now of the three marvellous photographs on the wolves.
But it isn't too late to congratulate you not only for your courage to have thus skirted them and especially to make us share these surely single moments, thanks to your sharing POV to merit appear in an article in National Geographic magazine. Which beauty in the details and the installations in these wolves.
Really all my congratulations, Vandana.

Friendly. Corinne

Great composition Vanadana, nice tones and colour, they would leap up and try to catch the birds in the wild, good looking animals.

Thanks

Hi Vandana,
I think it is the best picture of wolves that I see since a long time . Their numbers and their posture were just perfect for the picture . I like the way you took this shot from a low angle . They look young and beautifull .

I think it's cool how the front 2 are looking in different directions - whereas the third one doesn't appear to be much interested, Vandana ;o). Beautiful animals in, again, a very good compo. You did pay attention when the pro had his photo-talk ;o))

hello Vandana,
you have an excellent POV here. I appreciate your closeness to these wolves (and no doubt you do too). I like their posture that you have captures as they look up for the ducks? I also like your sensitive note. I recently watched a tv programme about wolves and how they were decimated by man. They had originally hunted bison but with the wholesale slaughter of bison (almost toextinction) American sttlers replaced them with cattle. And of course, whatwas an hungry wolf supposed to do but hunt them instead? There are so many ways than man has upset nature's balance. We need to learn from the early native Americans and other indiginous peoples who understood that each creature has its place on the earth.

Bev

Hello Vandana!

Hi Vandana - I love your wolves series. To actually see them howling, like in this image, is special. It is such a cool idea to take a wolf 'shooting' course. Your notes are most interesting, too. I enjoy reading them as you wrote them yourself instead of doing the copy-paste routine from wikipedia. Thank you for sharing your newly found love for those wolves with us! - Cordelia :))

Hi Vandana,

Your wolf series is really amazing, this one is no exception! The fantastic low angle composition brings the viewer face to face with these beautiful beasts. Excellent sharpness great timing and well exposed.
TFS,
Greetings and hugs,
Vassilis

Hello Vandana,
I notice they are well fed and with thick good fur coats, in nature they would most likely be more skinny!
Interesting to see the diifferent poses and attention, some fresh duck is never turned down...
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Vandana,

Fantastic picture. The composition is really great.

Hi Vandana,
When I first saw this shot I thought that wolves were having a 'sing-song'! They look marvelous don't they?! Another amazing picture Vandana, good POV, excellent detail, lovely pose.
Well done!

Hi Vandana,
Your serie on the wolves is splendid!
What a fantastic site which allows us to see such treasures!
Congratulations for this one in particular. The POV is so good and the alert in their expression very well rendered. Excellent colors and sharpness. You become an great animalist photographer!
Annie

Their attitude is impressive, dear Vandana (but I'm not sure that I would have kept the one on the right, maybe would it have been even stronger with only the 2 other ones, a vertical photo).
Excellent anyway.
Best regards,
Cath.
