"Ghost In The Snow" is an image of a Mexican Gray Wolf. The photo was taken at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago Illinois. The Mexican Gray Wolf is the most endangered gray wolf. They only exist in captivity and are trying to be re-introduced into the wild. It was taken with a Canon 60D and a Tamron SP 70-300mm Di VC USD. I want to thank everyone who voted for my image.

Thank you in recognizing my photo, "Eagles Nest", with the "Mark Of Excellence". Thank you all for your votes! My name in Mark Bein, I'm an Amateur photographer. Captured this image while on a canoe trip on Spicer Meadow Reservoir, in the Stanislaus National Forest Ca. I use a Canon EOS 50D with a wide angle 10mm - 22mm lens set at 16mm, f/16, 1/320sec with ISO of 400. Shot in color, post processed in Light Room did some dodging and burning along with tweaking the exposure.

Thank you for your votes! I am Alexey Pronin, live in Miami, Florida. In May of 2011 I attended a tour exploring Lake Powell and vicinities (http://www.dynamicphotoworkshops.com). One of the most memorable visits was to the Antelope Canyon, near Page, Arizona. I took this picture inside the slot canyon with a Sony A850 DSLR camera and a 50/2.8 Minolta lens. Some processing was done using Photoshop CS5 to improve contrast. You can visit my website for more images.
