Not enough distinction of the subject.

Nice shot, considering he probably didn't take directions well, I like the new version.

Hmmm. Far be it for me to be a fly in the ointment BUT I think the wolf is white, it's an overcast sky, the snow is white, and I'd ask myself, what do I expect? If the wolf is wild, I am just next to 100% certain he's not going to let me move 5 meters to the left. . . heck, I'm going to think I'm lucky to get this shot! The darkened sky seems pixelated with a halo effect, which is disagreeable to my sensibilities. And he's not pure white, there's some obvious yellow/golden hues that give you some differentiation from the relatively pure white of the snow. On a contrary note (but polite), I'd be inclined to try to WHITEN the snow and the sky.

I took another approach. Since the download was a jpeg, the image is noisy and lacks the information that a raw image would have provided.

I'm chuckling. We're all having a difficult time separating the wolf from its snowy background. Good work, God!

Nice photo, but I see what you are saying. I have corrected the photo so there is more contrast and the wolf is more defined. I did this by isolating the background, darkened the surrounding area and took the saturation down a bit. I also did a little color correction on the wolf. Is this what you had in mind?
I also cropped to bring more attention to the wolf.

Beautiful photo. Wish I were at a location to get photos like that. Using PSE11, I did a little contrast adjustment, sky and ground, slight color adjustment and noise reduction. Cropped to 8.5x11

I think if you had taken a couple of steps to the right to place the white wolf in front of the dark tree, it would have been perfect.

Although I like the idea of your shooting from a low angle to be more on the same level as your subject to me it does not work on this subject in these conditions, had you come from a higher angle and used the trees as the background for the wolf he would have stood out, shooting low put the sky behind him and he is lost in the sky.... I would also think that your exposure maybe could have been compensated, the camera is seeing so much white that I think it may have over exposed for your subject.. If I were taking the shot and paying attention which I sometimes do not do until it is to late, I would have taken a couple of different shots at different exposure values.

So, how do you ask a wolf to "Hold that pose, and could you move just a few feet to your left? Thanks so much!"

I may be wrong but looking at that pic it appears to me that the camera is low to the ground... also I click quite a few shots pretty quickly on a subject and always have my thumb either near or on the dial that changes my EV. My suggestions are just that, they can be taken with a grain of salt...

Of course you did, I've seen your stuff, I'm not so sure why you are taking me to task.
