Yep, sure looks like it to me. This works well both as an abstract with a nice touch of reality. I think your crop and centering the hedgehog's head adds nicely to the sense of abstraction.

Now that's a cool abstract, John. Love the pano and the centered comp. Cute and scary all in one.

Very nice John, I enjoyed the symmetry in this shot. Shows a nice contrast between the two main textures in this photo, the smoothness of its hair against the pointy foliage, and he appears to be right at home.

Very cool John - the hedgehog brings a natural monochromatic palette which really highlights the texture of its spines. I like the comp and crop you chose. Two thumbs up

What a cool little creature John. Interesting abstract the way you cropped here.

At first glance I thought this was an underwater shot of urchins. Cool!
