Overall when I first saw the shot it immediately screamed "captured animals" to me, not wildlife, as there is no chance a Wolf would allow you to get that close without the use of say something like a 800mm lens, and it being an Arctic Wolf, the grass is green, as well. I am not real hip on the angle which in my opinion makes it look more like a family pet dog than a Wolf. The highlights in the top of the head are blown, though that can be easily remedied (possibly, loss of detail in white is hard to get back) with curves, levels, and a little masking in Photoshop. Or if you are shooting RAW (which you should be) process 2 RAW files, and exposure blend it to get the details back.
The composition though....I think could honestly be better. Zoom out some next time, place the subject within the frame, close isn't always better, and make the shot itself flow to the aspect ratio. One of the best articles around on Wildlife/Animals photography and composition is "The Master Guide for Wildlife Photographers: Wildlife compositions" which you can read here [link]
What I do like if the focus, very nice especially on the bottom eye, that works well. Nice focus on the mouth area and nose as well.
What I really like to see is a Wolf in a more natural environment, personally. Something that fits it's actual habitat. I know it isn't always feasible to photograph wild Wolves, but having a scene that fits it's actual weather climate does help. Work it so the image seems wild, even when it is not. Make sense?
Nicely cropped and the subject looking into the camera so we can see those nice eyes
White fur can be hard to photograph, you do so well at it but there is a bit of a blown out area on the right side of the face, this can be fixed with the dodge/burn tool and just very light, I usually have it down to 20%. Also a little bit of vignetting mainly in the top corners might be good
Other than that it's a very sweet photo, like always
