I like the colors and composition, and the models for this picture of course... Well done! But I have to adress something, because I've been studying wolves and their behaviour. And as soon as I saw this artwork I burst out laughing, because everything about the wolf indicates that there will be bloodshed in a second.
And I mean EVERYTHING: the way he is looking straight at the girl (dominant behavior), creeping slowly towards her with tense muscles (you can observe this with dogs before they rush into play or into fight) and having ears up (fearless behaviour).
If the wolf was about making friends with the girl, he'd look submissive, avoid eye contact, stand sideways and maybe put his ears back with curled body, looking small. He'd always make sure he can run away.
If your intention was to make a nice picture about a friendship between this girl and a wild animal, or how to tame a beast - well, you could do some more research. But I believe you actually found a very clever way of making fun of people who don't know better

The picture's not even moving and my head's already spinning at how wrong or right this could go! Been watching too much Animal Planet.

Is the risk for the wolf?
I ask because he seems enamoured by the lady.
Beautiful painting - thank you for sharing!

The composition is what initially pulled me in. Up close, it's even more enchanting. Very well done.

Wonderful how this tender girl allures the wild creature ... great! Merely the picture is cut off too narrow at the upper border, I wish there would be a little more space above the wulf ...
