Hedgehog part II
The last one of my cute little friend Spikey. I build him a nice confy box where he can sleep during the winter. I hope to meet him again in springtime.

iso 200 1/80 sec. F5 and a bit of fill flash

Very nice indeed! Is that water or a mirror? :)

Another nice shot of Spikey. What with feeding him and providing a winter hibernaculum he is turning into quite an expensive model. Worth it though.

Another top class image Edwin, reflection perfection in my opinion :toast:

Although superbly executed I'm afraid this image doesn't really do it for me. I think perhaps it looks a little too 'set up'.

Sorry, I missed the other hedgehog. They are both stunning. Love the use of the reflection, autumnal foliage and flash. This one in particular really grabs me. I think it is the slightly coy expression and raise of head. I would quite happily chop off a limb for this!

Just absolutely gorgeoous!! :toast:

it's another lovely shot Edwin. I suppose if I were being super critical I would say the fact the 'pond' appears to be elevated is a bit artificial looking. But it's still a lovely image and the colours are great.

Nice work Edwin, I think I might have backed off a little to give a bit more room around the h.hog but I think it's quite appealing..

Very very nice Edwin!!!
Works really well!
My little hedgehog has hibernated already so was unable to get anything resembling this!!

Hi Edwin, people have already said everything, but I have a question. Does the flash worry the little fellow?

Steve
Posted by Edwin kats on October 16, 2008 at 4:56 AM
Hi Stephen,

Flash doesn't worry him at all. Just like most of the mammals they don't mind a tiny bit of flash light.
Not even owls are bothered by the flash.
