shadow wolf

Dude, this picture is brilliant. I LOVE the way the wolf's head fits perfectly with the iris. When I first saw it, I thought it was just an eye. But now, when I look at it, I can't picture how it looks like the iris. I only see the wolf. Wolves are my favorite animals, you see, so I absolutely LOVE this picture. How did you it? It's so... amazing!
Maybe you could try doing other animals, like lions ir tigers or cheetahs. This is a beautiful picture.
Sorry this critique sucks. My friend's sitting here next to me just saying "WHAT?! OH MY GOD!" Repeatedly.
Overall, beautiful picture.
