However, this baiting thing is what makes the picture false. Well, John G wrote exactly what I wanted about the wolves. They are different.

Further, the stone walls in the Madrid natural park bear only a superficial resemblance to the stone wall and gate in the contest photograph-- in the park, it's a small pile of small/medium sized rocks, in the contest photo, it's a wall-shaped stack of larger rocks with lichen on them (the supposed site of the photograph is in the original article). There may be fakery going on here, but I don't think these two are the same wolf.

The wold is lit from below but the fence is lit from above. Now that is odd and should have set anyone's alarms bells ringing. What on earth were the judges thinking off?
