I was just about to close down for the night when this little cutie popped up.
Cute factor is high indeed on this one Jean Michel and it is just the last chance for these little guys to find a comfortable winterbed these days. Very good pose, excellent sharpness/dof and very good colours.

I have several in my tiny garden every year because I have plate with water for the birds so they come to drink and feed on the bread. They are really funny. Last summer I heard a lot of noise from under a bush and I knew it was a male chasing a female. After some time the female came out and I waited for the male too but he did not come. Taking a look into the bush I understood - there was one more female in there so he was still busy.

Hello Jean Michel,

I have never seen a live hedgehog and this one is captured well.

Interesting features on the body, he looks as though he could be related to the porcupine.

I very much like the low POV and the sharp eye contact.

Wonderful job, thank you.

Hi Jean Michel,
This is a cute little friend you have caught. They use to be very common here but in these days they are quite rare.
Great POV, well composed and very good details.
Excellent work.

Jean-Michel, believe me: I've never seen one of them.

Excellent sharpness and details; great catchlight in the eye.

I like composition and pov too. Excellent dof, which highlights the head/eyes.

Nice capture. Fantastic DOF and POV.

Arm still a bit sore so I am keeping the comments short.

Ahhh, a hedgehog. We don't get that many of them on TN. Lovely close up (I hope you're not covered in fleas :-)). Lovely shot Jean Michel. Well done.

I love these little hedhehogs JP, but in NZ they are trying to make them officially known as 'pests'. They suggest that hedgehogs are killing skinks and ground-nesting native birds’ eggs.
I love your little fellow here, he looks so cute. Nice and 'sharp'(!!) too. Well done,
Janice

What an adorable face! You captured the sweet personality of this little guy - the curiosity and courage.
Good on all technical aspects. Heartwarming on the emotional ones. :)
