Thanks for your response. The shot was not in the wild. There is a small wolf sanctuary in Northern New Jersey (!) where they have about a dozen animals that were born in captivity, were rescued, or have otherwise come into their possession. (They have two bobcats that were living with a woman in a trailer in Iowa.). The toughest thing about the shot is that the animals are behind two rows of cyclone fence. Therefore I had to shoot from far away with a long lens wide open. This narrowed the depth of field and eliminated the fences.

Great shot. The wolves are truly majestic. Went there last year on a photo shoot sponsored by Bergen County Camera. We were able to walk between the double fences. There are cutouts in the inner fence for photography. It's reserved for professional photography, but we got to use it. No fences to shoot over or thru. Bergen County Camera is in Westwood NJ. Best camera store around. I buy all my camera gear from them, nowhere else.

Ken,
Thanks for your comments. I heard about the Preserve via Unique Camera in Fairfield. (I have started using them because they are in the same general direction as my office in Bloomingdale.) They were sponsoring an outing at the Preserve. My wife and I decided instead to do the civilian tour mostly as a way of checking the place out for later visits with grandchildren. I might have to go back later to do the "through the fences" tour.

The "between the fences" access is VERY expensive. We got a very good deal because there was a total of 35 of us. Best bet is to check what the cost would be on a Unique Camera sponsored tour.

It's a nice photo, but it's not wildlife photography to me. The photo looks posed. It might have been as well taken in a zoo.
