The wolf

I was walking along the edge of a North Fork meadow the other evening. The light was failing and the odds of getting a good picture were slim. Then I saw a wolf. It trotted off and I took a few frames, but it was a long way away, at least 150 yards. I kept walking and the wolf circled around a patch of trees and laid down about 100 yards away. By then the light was even worse. The wolf heard me and sat up. I took a few frames and figured I had squat. I had to underexpose a good stop and a half, but when I got home and checked the images, I noticed I had a sharp shot of the wolf's one eye. The photo is a bit grainy and the crop is very tight (this picture is barely six inches wide). But it works.
