Whoa. No offense intended, but this one has more story in it than they often do. Everything comes together to suggests there's so much behind this one snap shot. Very nicely done.

She really did go above and beyond, actually there is a story behind this image, ive had it in my head for nearly a year now.

Well, she portrayed it rather well based on what I'm seeing. You plan on doing anything with the story, or not just yet?
(I'm a writer myself, so please forgive my curiosity.)

Actually I do, at some point I plan on jotting Β down the basic ideas and writing a novel of sorts. Iβm a rper but Iβve never written a whole story by myself so Iβm taking it slow as to not get overwhelmed, I want to make it realistic so Iβm also doing research on Grey wolves particularly in Yellowstone. But if your interested I do have a simple promo finished. The names have changed though.

Well that's awesome. I read the sample, and I think you've got a talent there. Much like mine years ago when I started, it needs practice and refinement, but I can already see the potential. And your wolves already sound better than mine, though mine are in a Young Adult story that refuses to conform. Stories do that sometimes by the way. Some element just will not be changed, and you have no choice but to surrender.
When you're ready to attack it, I'd seek out writing groups on Twitter and Facebook. They've been a big help for me in getting better with my craft. But the slow and steady approach is a good one. I wrote my first draft in 2001. I didn't have a draft ready for publication until 2015. Not saying it'll take that long for you, just saying it's okay if it does.
As for your wolf research, I've done a ton of my own, though I'm hardly an expert. However, I want to drop this by you. It details something I only found recently, but like I said, my story refuses to change to match.
It's an article talking about how the common idea of the "alpha male" is wrong.

I'd also look up the Firekeeper series by Jane Lindskold. It's a 6 book (with #7 on the way) fantasy series about a woman raised by wolves. She did wolves better than most, and since you said you wanted it to be realistic, it might be worth looking into.
Best of luck on your journey!
