So sorry if this comes through two times.

These wolves are magnificent.

I love seeing your art.

Thanks for sharing your beauty with us.

M Otaku, I do see double sometimes, lol, but this is not one of those times. It came through just once, and I thank you sincerely for comments and your time. Very very much appreciated. :))shawn

You're welcome

Very cool creation. What are the 5 different photos that you used. Are each one of those wolves a different photo? Just curious. Anyway, you have done a nice job how ever you did it. It is very appealing and done very well. Love the detail and the framing. Nice work.

Hi, Karen. Yes, each wolf was from a different photo. It takes a lot of time searching stock photo sites to find things that will go together. Some you pay for, some are free. It's really hard to find a "whole" animal or a "whole" person. People love taking close ups, lol. Thank you so much for the comments and excellent rating!! :))shawn

Cool,Shawn!
Timber Wolves were my original Totem Animals ( before I adopted my beloved Great Hyena as my permanent Totem a few years ago during my tenure as a Feral Wiccan! ) and your presentation of this Family Pack of White specimens looks Great!

Is a totem animal the same as a spirit guide animal? I love wolves... not sure I'd want to meet one in the wild though,. Especially a hungry one, lol. Thank you, dear Sean T, for the excellent and interesting comments. :))shawn

It's something like that,Shawn! You're very welcome,my friend!

Comment from Paul G.
Should I start with "stunning"? This is beautiful. I am a huge fan of the wolf. I have seen a couple in the wild, but not many. I think that they get a bad rap. They are such beautiful creatures.

This is well done in so many ways. I love it. Thank you for sharing.

I can't even begin to wonder how you did this. So like a photograph. A fitting representation of winter in the wild. Beautifully done. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, fotogran. It's made up of 5 different stock photos or parts thereof. It's a digital creation and the process is called photo manipulation. On FAR, "digital creation" is the only category in digital art where one is allowed to use photos. Again, I thank you dearly for the comments. :))

Comment from Raoul D'Harmental
Hi Moonwillow

This is a lovely image of these wolves who look a bit bemused by the photographer. The use of black and white is inspired and makes this look almost like a scene from a movie. Excellent! R

Comment from iPhone7
This is Digital art? Really? Do you mean that this is not a photograph? If it is not a photo this is Amazing! Either way I love this scene. Your rendering in black and white adds such a wonderful sense of drama to this peaceful scene. The details are pinpoint sharp. The family composition, especially with the look of the pup is very touching. The only negative is that I do not have a six to award this wonderful image. Please accept my Cyber Six as a poor substitute. Kudos on this one Shawn ~ Steve

Steve, thank you so very much. Digital Creation is the only category in digital art where you can use stock photos to make a new work of art. This one consists of 5 different photos plus a tad of digital painting here and there. Again, thank you for the comments. :))

A quite gorgeous animal photo presented here! Your nice and central composition offers us an enjoyable look at them. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!
