Description Wolves, photographed at the Ljubljana Zoo in Slovenia. They seemed to be having a little argument at the moment, and I did my best to capture the tense mood. Hope you guys like it

"Bitch, that's MINE!"

(Or something to that effect.)

I love how you captured the face of the one wolf, while you only see the back of the other one, that makes a good effect.

OMG! Wolves!!

And this is not the only reason I like this photo so much!
The tense mood is precisely captured; I like the fact that only the right one's face is showing, makes it clear that he's the dominating one here-with his wrinkled nose and bare teeth, there's no better definition for 'angry' except this picture!

It seems like the left one is being scolded by a superior male of the pack...maybe he's trespassing a marked teritory?
Could be.
And I believe that the Black n White here is the perfect choice! It drives the beholder's eye directly to the action scene, making such a nicely composed photo alltogether.

Thanks
I'm really happy you support the b&w choice, I hoped it would emphasize the tensity of the situation and the composition better.

Btw, you can also use a soap opera explanation for the whole thing. The sulky wolf in the background just told daddy she's accidently become pregnant and got scolded around -->hence the sulking. And now daddy is seriously considering to kill the bf that was the source of all this mess. Bf clearly didn't know the secret had leaked, when he decided to come visit

hahahahahahaa!! you're so right!
lol, the soap opera could be called "The Wild and The Beautiful" hahahahahah!!
you've got a great sense of humour there! Got me laughing thinking of what will happen to the poor baby wolf-will it be accepted by the pack??
-will it be able to ever meet his true father??
-stay tuned for our next episodes!

Thanks a lot, and again for the fav too

Glad you like the decision for b&w as I wasn't quite sure at first. But I sort of thought the mood came out better this way.

I think it makes you look more at the features, as you don't have the colour distracting you.. nice shot
