I tend to disagree…You have captured this magnificent misunderstood animal! It is beautiful!!! I would love to have an injustice like this one..LOL Well done!

Incredible capture of this guy. The detail and lighting is fantastic! Those eyes are amazing!

oooo this is so awesome…what a face…lucky you to get so close and personal with this beautiful wolf!!!

crumbs he must be tame . What a fantastic shot Bravo”!!

Fantastic capture. wonderful wolf. You can certainly see the resemblance to man’s best friend in him!!

His eyes are the window to his soul….. magnificent capture!

you’ve got some awesome animals all around you!

This is Beautiful…..... Terri.

I really love this shot!!!l Great capture and expression of a wild wolf!!

great photo

You’ve received a lot of praise for this awesome photo, Terri, but no one seems to realize how incredibly rare it is for anyone to be able to even come close to getting the opportunity. I’ve been an outdoors person all my life, and living in west central BC (Canada) where wolves are not uncommon, I have only seen wolves about 10 times… usually for only a few seconds, and NEVER up close and calm. They are desperate about avoiding people. Whatever your “Wolf Whisperer” connection is, it is an unimaginable gift. I reserve my right to envy you :)

So, so beautiful and majestic! I love it!

Amazing capture!

I AGREE WITH MOOSEMAN UP HERE! THE PHOTO HAS MORE VALUE IF ONE LOOKS AT IT FROM THAT PERSPECTIVEI FOUND YOU TERRI!

Terri. You definitely have a special gift with animals. They sense something in you that does not frighten them. I have walked up to a deer in the canyon where I live and was so surprised when he or she did not run away. I think the animals look for you, rather than the other way around. What a precious gift!!

Perfect

Hey Terri.. yes I am serious too.. This is such an outstanding photo of a wolf..one of the best I’ve seen..and I never say anything other then the truth.. ; ))

I LOVE wolves!!!...... this a beautiful photo. I can see why you say it was a “spirtual” experiance, usually they do not stick around long around humans.

Holy wow, this is fierce.

Beautiful capture .

wow, very close and personal…great shot!

This is awesome. I lo-o-o-ove wolves, frimly believe I have one for a guide…. Oh I just admire these images you’ve captured

Magnificent he is, Terri. Thank you for adding this extraordinary close-up on your Wolf friend along your pledge to Art for Conservation.

Such a special moment captured! The light and his eyes drew me right in!

One word – Sensational. I love all your photos, but to me this is the best.

Wow! so close..very special

Really wonderful. I haven’t seen something like this before.

Terri. It is wonderful to see your “magnificent work” again. Your relationship with wolves is amazing and beneficial for both species. Actually, we are the lucky ones when animals take the risk to enter our world. Fantastic photograph!

Just stunning – beautiful!!!

I COULDN’T HELP BUT FAVORITE THIS IMAGE. I LOVE HIS EYES, THEY ALMOST LOOK CROSSEYED. I MISS MY HIGH CONTENT HYBRIDS. BOB :)

WHAT PICTURE? I DON’T SEE AN IMAGE OF LEBEN. I CURRENTLY HAVE A LOW CONTENT, SIBERIAN/TIMBER WOLF. CHEWY IS 75% SIBERIAN AND 25% TIMBER WOLF. I DON’T THINK I WILL BE ALIVE LONG ENOUGH TO GET ANOTHER HIGH CONTENT HYBRID. BUT, I WOULDN’T HAVE MISSED THE OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE THREE SUCH WONDERFULL ANIMALS. I ONLY WISH THAT MY LAST THREE WOULD HAVE MADE IT 15 YEARS EACH, LIKE MY NANNU DID. DEOGGE, WAS 13 YEARS 2 MONTHS AND 2 DAYS OLD WHEN I HAD TO PUT HER DOWN. SHE HAD A TUMOR ON HER SPLEEN AND IT BURST. SOCKS, DEOGEE’S MATE, MADE IT ONE DAY SHORT OF 12 1/2 YEARS EXACTLY, HE STARTED AN INTERNAL BLEED OUT, AFTER HITTING HIS CHEST ON THE EDGE OF THE DESK THAT HE LOVED LAYING ON TOP OF, ALL OF HIS LIFE. IF HE HAD USED THE RAMP, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO JUMP UP ON IT LIKE HE USED TO DO, HE MIGHT HAVE MADE IT A LITTLE LONGER, BUT IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME, BEFORE LIVER CANCER WOULD HAVE TAKEN HIM FROM ME. HE HAD TO BE INJECTED ALSO. THEN THERE WAS SMOKEY, MY BABY. HE WAS BORN UNDER MY BED, HE MEANT THE MOST TO ME AND HE WAS THE FIRST TO GO. THE PUPPIES, 3 OF THEM, WERE THE ONLY LIFE FORMS I’VE EVER HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH BRINGING THEN INTO THIS WORLD. I WAS HOPING FOR A GOOD LONG LIFE WITH HIM, BUT HE HAD TO BE PUT DOWN JUST 13 DAYS BEFORE HIS EIGHTH BIRTHDAY. HE HAD A TUMOR ON HIS HEART AND SPLEEN AND THE ONE ON HIS HEART BURST HIS AORTA AND HE STARTED BLEEDING INTO HIS HEART SACK. THE UC DAVIS HOSPITAL DIDN’T HAVE A CARDIOLIGY DEPARTMENT FOR SMALL ANIMALS, ONLY HORSES, OTHERWISE, THEY COULD HAVE SAVED HIS LIFE. I MISS ALL THREE OF THEM. AS FAR AS I KNOW, SMOKEY’S BROTHER, TACOMA IS STILL ALIVE AND JUST TURNED 13 ON JAN. 22 OF THIS YEAR. I DON’T KNOW ABOUT HIS YOUNGER SISTER, SASHA MARIE. BOB

AWESOME Portrait capture and image STUNNING Natural Art WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

awesome!!

Hi Terri, Here is a moment that will never ever dim for you; you will always be able to close your eyes and replay the meeting with this magnificent wolf. I’ve had them cross right in front of my stopped car in YS a few times, but NEVER this close, and never looking right into my soul like this one seems to be yours! Thank goodness you are a talented photographer!
