Nikki, great photo. Love the sky and the wolf statue silhuete (my gramother had one in her house).
If you put the camera a bit more higher showing from the feet of the wolf to above, it will looks real.
Thanks

Hello Nikki,
Well seen and well executed. A beautiful scene that looks also as if the wolf has to defend itself before upcoming danger. Maybe symbolic for the rough times Italy is again going through ?

Good evening Nikki,
Seeing Romulus & Remus i thought for a moment it was a picture from Rome, but also Pisa seems to have a statue about the twins....how interesting. No leaning tower, but a great sky with fantastic colours. Good placement of the statue were the she-wolf has a great pose.
Have a nice evening,
Henk

Salut Nikki,
C'est une belle photo. Le ciel apporte un element dramatique qui renforce la symbolique (disons que c'est un leve de soleil!). On dirait presque que la louve est vivante, et bien protectrice.
Bonne journee, Claude.

Salut Nikki,
Vraiment magnifique celle-ci...
Tu as parfaitement profité de ce ciel superbe et l'angle choisi met remarquablement bien en valeur la louve.
Composition impeccable et grosse ambiance, comme quoi même avec du matériel au rabais, on peut faire des choses bien ;-)
Bonne soirée à toi et bonjour à la petit famille.
Amicalement, Christian

Hello Nikki,
Une vu sympa. En voyant la vignette, je me suis demandé comment tu avais pu avoir saisi ce loup au soleil couchant. L'image est très belle et la composition minimaliste rend hommage à cette statue.
Bravo !

Hi Nikki,
Another sunset shot, just what we need on TE... Just kidding, I absolutely LOVE this one! Well seen, beautifully captured. Wonderful silhouette against the dramatic colours in the sky.
I only wonder why they would put up a statue of the founders of Rome in Pisa...?
Superb shot, thanks for sharing!
Best,
Claudia

Hola Nikki:
Una toma con un gran efecto cromático, sin duda. Has establecido una gran composición con la silueta, los tonos fuertes al fondo y el encuadre acertado.
Excelente trabajo. Saludos desde Colombia,

Hi Nikki, I like the idea of presenting the silouette of the statue in front of this colourful sky. Positioning of the statue within the frame is perfect. Cheers, Steve

I didn't know this symbol of Rome could be found in Pisa too. Good angle showing the head of the wolf agains sunset. Well framed. Spectacular colours.

Hello Nikki, I thought Rome at first but you tend to see the female Wolf & her twin cubs elsewhere in Italy. Well positioned in the frame with beautiful warm sunset colours.
Nice capture & well presented.

Looking from a thumbnail, i thought it was real. the placement of the statue is good and the focus as well, colors are great too. Nice shot, well done.

Hello Nikki,
I have been missing TE somehow - so I came back after 18 months of absence.
Seems to me your photgraphic eye and skills have been developped well since then.
Very nice frame here and with the additon of the two sheep a perfect BG for a wolf.
