Lonely Hedgehog
I saw this little fellow while I was stalking the deer. This one looked so lovely that I left the deer alone and concentrate on this little one.

What a little gem... the catchlight in the 'visible' takes this image several notches up from superb, a classic....

Excellent shot. Superb comp, PoV and DoF. I feel almost guilty saying that I'm not sure about that leaf and I would like to see his nose as well. Still wish that I'd taken it though. :toast: :toast:

Thanks guys, Hey, are here no woman at all? :confused:

I know about the nose but he wouldn't lift it. But personally I like the eye the most.

Thanks again,

Edwin Kats

I love this! The colours and DOF are fantastic. I've envisaged a shot like this for ages, just haven't found a cooperative subject. Well done! :toast: :toast: :toast:
