I would have expected a little higher finish. I thought it was a great capture. Love the freaky eyes and the ruffled fur.

Great result Ernie. The 11 1's are total BS though, looks as if though some people are trying to hurt your images.

This is beautiful. Another great wolf shot, well done and in my opinion should have been higher up the ladder.

I know. . .it makes me boiling mad every time I see a blatant example of scoring manipulation like you see when a photo of this calibre gets 3's or less. Even 4's or less. It can be for no other reason but they have a photo that they think might be in the running, so they are trying to lower the scores of the ones they know are better than theirs.

Sooooooo, what is the story behind this beautiful, if not a bit weathered, animal??? Your photography definitely connects you to him on its own, but I'd love to know a little bit more of the story behind this photo. Its captivating -- and the way I love animals, I'm sure the story would make me love the photo even more :)

Congratulations on a capture that will live long after the final finish has been forgotten. But Congratulations also on a well deserved front page placing.

That's amazing to get this tight of a shot using a 70-200! You must have some pretty good access to these animals to capture something like this at that focal length. Wildlife animal preserve or something?
