Always elusive & more active at Dark but caught here in an intimate moment

showing respect to the Alpha. Attempting to get on his Good side !:)

Fuji S5 Pro @ 500mm, F4.5, ISO 100, Manual Exposure +.7, I was  Covered with Snow lying on my stomach but well shielded from their view. 

Small crop to level,

Very cool. Do you have more of the black wolf in the original image?

Bill, excellent black and white presentation!  Love how the black and white wolves share opposite sides of the frame separated by the diagonal placement.  This is very artistic, and the eyes of the black wolf tell the whole story!  Well done!

Yin and Yang. I really like this - maybe more as a graphic image than a wildlife image (which is not a negative comment). The tight crop is perfect. Although this is fine as presented, I'd be tempted to play with the white levels and bring them up so as to have a more stark black/white contrast- in keeping with the more graphic concept.

Very nice! like the composition but it would be nice to see a little more of the head of the black wolf!

Very striking -- it's cool that the two noses fall on a vertical line. Following up on Cindy's suggestion about the whites, using a white neutralizer or doing a B/W conversion could enhance the graphic effect without giving up much detail. Gorgeous!

Nice idea Bill with the black and white contrast and close crop but I wish the face of the black wolf wasn't so soft, especially as it is such a major part of the image.
