Porcupine

Albuquerque New Mexico along the Rio Grande river.
I had to shoot through many branches to get his face so I cropped a fair amount. The forty mile an hour winds didn't help one bit.

Not an image seen everyday for sure! I think a crop from bottom just below right front paw/foot(what is it on a porky) to eliminate llc gray oof area strengthens image. Don"t mind the branches as this is where you find them.
Nice image.

I like the windblown look you've captured. And you did a good job of getting an open view of the face. Hard to get a clear view of these guys. You did a nice job on getting face detail with the tough shooting conditions.

A tough shooting situation that you handled pretty well. Good detail in the dark face of the porky. The busy BG couldn't be helped some OOF FG branches are a bit of a problem.
