    Johan,

    What a gem, a daylight porcupine is extremely rare one in the open rarer still.

    Great POV, perhaps a little selective sharpening on head?

    I hope you did not get any closer:)

    Rare sighting Johann, we saw them last year but only for a few seconds. They disappeared into the long grass, impossible to photograph. Good south side, open rarer and like the head turn Johann TFS

    I agree with the commentators above. A great sight to see and well presented.

    Great find and captured well Johan. Nice color, agree with Ken on the head sharpening.

    Great sighting and well captured. I kept teasing our trackers last trip that I wanted to see a porcupine but we never did find one. I bet you have a pangolin shot too :).

    TFS,

    this is almost a once-in-a-lifetime sighting in daytime Johan - and the southside capture really works well!
    nice use of space in the compo
