About the Image(s)
How I did it: Took the wolf at tge Grizzly and Wolf Center ns west Yellowstone. I had recently seen an ad with a wolf in sheep's clothing on TV, which gave ne tge idea.
The sheep was sone special breed, a ram with horns that I found at the Alaneda County Fair. I flipped the ram so he linesd up with the wolf. The idea was to cover the wolf with aheep's skin rather than to change the wolf’s fur Ito fleece. I wanted the feeling that the wolf was trying to disguise himself ather than a strange-lookibg wolf. Using layers and eraser brush ib Photoshop I cut out the fleece foray
the sheep and it was almost the correct size, I shipped it first to drape over with clear lines, so please look at that version. I then Ade the ocovering ragged as though it had to cut though all of the fleece s and had a ragged look. I also added loosely she fleece on his legs. I didn’t eat it to be exact, just a try by the wolf to cover himself up. The judge at our camera club berated me for not doing I ]t ore carefully at the aster’s level, but he was looking for a direct replacement of the fur on the wolf for the fleece. The two versions, please compare and tell ne which yo prefer, if either.. I also cropped the image, lightened tge fleece, darkened the background, the usual. Let e know what you thibjk of tge dea, whether it is creative or bot T hacks.
