I there! I am here from Canipulate with your critique!

First off, this is a stunning image, I wish it was bigger so that I could view the details more! The way you did the fur really is beautiful, the tail and the chest I think are my favorite. Honestly I am super in love with the fur style here. One thing I notice about the stripes is that they don't seem to blend into the wolf enough. It almost looks like you can't see the fur detail through it like you would with setting the layer to overlay or soft light. If it's an ore growth or something it makes sense! But if it's just a marking on the coat, then I think it needs a bit of fur detailing either drawn on or changing your layer styles. 

I really like the choice of background here, but to me the water splash texture is a little much. Water that calm wouldn't be spraying that high up the rocks, and it takes your eye away from the character for a moment. This is also a style choice, but I think that the image is grand enough without the addition of the large splashes! The soft blue tones of your character really make them blend into the background, good job on the lighting!

With the reflection here, you missed the mark by just a little bit! The paws are too far away so it makes your character look like they are floating. The reflection should be under the paws, meeting up with them exactly if not a little further up the leg. Reflections are also almost always darker than your subject! So setting the layer to overlay or ever multiply would help with that. The little paw prints you added is really freaking adorable and super well done! I wouldn't be able to do that, haha. Over all, this is really beautiful. (I am still in awe of your fur OMG!) Great job and I hope this is useful!
