The Best Photography on Etsy


The Etsy Fine Art Photography team discusses photographic artworks for sale on Etsy.com. Team members use their experience to make positive critiques of individual fine art photo prints for sale in Etsy shops other than their own.

Opinions about individual artworks are solely those of the team members and are not to be construed as endorsements of other items in the artwork's shop, or of the shop as a whole. There is no editing of team members' commentary by the team captain unless requested.

"Lupus"
Artwork is from Etsy shop: Wildnisphotography.

The academic in me might say "the profundity of wild nature justifies a latinate nomenclature"...! Lupus, as you may know, means "wolf" in Latin. Wild nature, you might agree, lives profoundly as the mother of us all.

And so the photographer attempts to share more than decoration with, perhaps, an implied message. The wolf symbolizes the planet's wildness that now struggles to survive even as a fragmented remnant. The essence of nature's artful creations is often found in the eyes. And in this image, the fierce open mouth, the blurred motion, the frantic partial composition, and the natural color of the coat, define this beast, a work of natural art.
