Ecomuseum visit in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue during a cloudy morning day.

For the small history of the photograph, the porcupine was perched on its two feet back on a tree trunk in its enclosure and tried to leave. But it did not dare to cross the barrier. I just had time to deposit my tripod and to take the photograph. Framing is of origin because I had my 300mm assembled on the camera.

Bonjour Éric,
Très beau cliché, le noir et blanc met en valeur l'animal.
Bravo

Hello Eric

A very interesting photo of this porcupine.I find them very difficult animals to photograph.The black and white treatment gives it a very artistic feel.The POV is very good with a shallow DOF.The focus and contrast are very good.TFS

C'est original comme angle de prise de vue..ça me fait penser ( ne me demande pas pourquoi ;-D ) à une photo de Rock Star que l'on verrait penchée sur sa guitare.
Il fallait oser!

Amicalement

Salut Éric,
Tu as été chanceux de le voir, moi je ne l'ai ai pas vu lors de ma visite. J'aime bien cette prise de vue et composition, c'est original. La profondeur de champs, les détails et l'utilisation du noir et blanc sont appropriés. Merci!
Claudine

Bonjour Eric,
I usually don't like black and white conversion but here it works very well, thanks for sharing.
Rick
