I read this as "Stripper snapped fake wolf pic"....... I need help
 
Thats stupid. They talk about the light not being dispersed correctly and that it was a model wolf, but i'm assuming a real one. Like a wolf stunt double.

How does the one influence the other ? I have a model pencil, its not the real one that i write with. If i take a picture of the model pencil will my pic be any worse even though its the same make as the real one ?

The competition is for Wildlife photography ... using a model/tame wolf for the shot sort of defies the purpose now, doesn't it?

+1.

Else why not just snap a dog?

EDIT:
Rule 10 says photographs of animal models may not be entered and that offending images will be disqualified.
