The Artist's Challenge
[link] [link] [link]
DEADLINE March 31, 2009

*LoneWolfPhotography Challenges YOU to take an amazingly beautiful short written scene and turn it into a beautiful piece of visual art!

Picture a deep dense pine forest, in the fading light of day...snow is on the ground...deep snow. In a very very small opening in the trees and with their backs to a deep drift that creates a dead end for them with no where to go, is a small band of wild horses.....mares huddled against the drift, frightened while the herd stallion, a magnificent animal full of muscle, strength and rage in his own eyes, stands out in front of them, ready for a battle to the death to protect his herd from the pack of wolves that have cornered them there. The wolves have their heads down low looking for an opening, knowing full well what the stallion's hooves can do if they make a mistake and charge in recklessly. The wolves almost blend in with the lengthening shadows of dusk in the forest, their eyes glowing as if candles were behind each one, circling and feinting, looking for an opening. I see the stallion up on hind legs, forelegs battering the first wolf brave enough to attack, while the rest of the pack inches closer seeing a possible opening.....
