Incdreible in every way. I like the slim OOF band - I'm going to have to get me one of these hedgehogs!

This is a great photo! Your son and the hedgehog are perfectly focused and the surrounding blur is beautiful.

I really enjoy this. It's well done technically, and it captures the moment very well.

Hey Edwin,

Very cool - I love the colour here as much as in the image of Spikey you posted in the Fauna Gallery. I like the contact between your son and the hedgehog (and it is nice to have some scale to get a feel for the size of Spikey, tho' I hate to call your son "scale"

).

Cheers...

Brad
