Funny, how different people perceive and like different things isn’t it. I find plenty of eye appeal and like the last three posters before me, I like the 2nd one best because I too think it “pops” a little more due to the brighter lighter color background. I don’t always like ragged edges, but sometimes I do, it depends on the subject and purpose. I like it here with the wolf myself. Nice work on both. Clearly a great example here of beauty (or not) being in the eye of the beholder.
