Thank you! 
Sorry about the double post, oups!
You're welcome! 
You capture animals in a very sentimental and dignified way.
I would like to use some of your pictures for painting references. However, some of the ones I really like are not wolves and say "not stock". Does that mean that I cannot use them for painting reference? If so, can I ask your permission to do so please? Of course, any work would be credited to you as the inspiring photographer and a link to the photo would be included.

You can use all of my pictures as a reference, as long as you do not use your paintings in a commercial way
Thank you! One last question (then I'm done bugging you!). Is entering my art (based on your reference photo) in an art competition or something similar count as a commercial use?
