Great job on this monochromic pack of white wolves! Excellent tones and contrast. Great center of interest. Excellent visual and initial impact. Well and thoughtful composition. Love how the small one fill the 1/3 spot in the frame and seems to be where your point of focus was. They contrast so well with the dark tones of the trees in the background. This really is outstanding photography!
Great lighting and exposure values. Point on!
Great techniques and high technical excellence. And if I forgot to mention fantastic story telling ability. A great offering and a pure pleasure to view! Thanks for sharing...

Congrats and Regards,

Paul E Brumit

Paul, thank you ever so much for the beautiful, beautiful review and rating, but I feel I have misled you. It's in my notes that this is not an actual "photo" but it is a digital creation made up of 5 different stock photos. Photo manipulation to the max to create a work of art. If you understood that when you reviewed it, I totally appreciate the comments and exceptional rating, and it's wonderful hearing from you. if not... I don't know what to say, I'm flabbergasted,. To be honest, I don't even own a camera! LOL.

Well as you said its a work of art. Be it photography or traditional art or any other medium. Its still great work. It was so good that it fooled me for a photograph and I was so fast to jump to the review I didn't even read....So still well deserving of the rating and a pleasure to view. Again thanks for sharing and the honesty. Love it!

Paul

a lovely image of this family of white wolves, I like the black and white which always seems to convey more feeling, I like the placement of the animals in the frame, good clarity, well done.

Comment from shoregrass
Quite an impressive trio. Your combo of manipulations has created a strikingly beautiful picture. The monochrome palette is perfect for the subjects and accentuates their beauty. Perfect and natural background. Very well done.

This is great. It looks just like a photograph. Wow, how old are you? Major in art is college and go from there. You will have an enjoyable and exciting career. :)
The detail on the fur is outstanding, and the detail of the forest looks very natural.

A superb digital creation. Innovative. Eye catching. Superbly presented. The light and shadows and the framing makes the image to pop up. Thanks for sharing. A virtual 6 for you.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
Moonwillow, You are, (in my eyes) genius when it comes to your creations. White wolf in 3 with a broad range on tonal qualities, showing good dynamic range. Especially nice is the background, subdued in it's high textural quality, enough to catch our eyes yet not steal the image.

The dimensions are well done with scale shown and thereby giving depth to the presentation.

Why did you give this a Japanese title? Is it what they are called in the white man's world?

I am very sorry to tell you I have no more 6 stars left in my bucket, but you so deserve one on this upload.

Thank you, Olga! I was really into Japanese poetry "haiku" on FS. Did a poem about a white wolf there with the same title. The gist of it was when a white wolf hunts in the fog... he hunts undercover. If you know anything about haiku, it makes perfect sense. Again, dear Olga, thank you for the wonderful comments and the thought on the six. I sincerely appreciate it. :))shawn

Ahh, yes I do know a few things about Haiku....can you send me the poem? Please. PM if possible....would appreciate it.
