Looking to that hedgehog i think that just a second later than your click, it was running on the beach, away from that strange long mammal with a strange black box in the hands!
brilliant shot Henryk.
thanks, ciao

:) hi henryk,
nicely captured form of life (be it plant or animal ... does it matter anyway? ... important is that it's alive :) ... love those little drops of water, and the mixture of yellow and green 'leaves' ... sign that the plant is growing new ones, just as it should in spring. good contrast with the sand around it - well seen (hedgehog ... :)!
thanks,
dora

ps: "strange long mammal with a strange black box in the hands" :)))

Indeed it always make me think at some strange animal. A nice shot with one water drop on each herb it seems. A goog catch.

Hi Henryk,

Great picture! And you surely have a good sense of humour haha. Would have fitted in that category as well ;-).

I like the little drops of water and the sharp detail in your hedgehog. Well spotted and nicely done!!

Bonjour Henryk
Très jolie macro de cet arbuste trus net qui se détache sur un arrière-plan au flou artistique. Les petites gouteletts d'eau sont bien saisies.
Bravo - merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hi Henryk,
Nicely textured compo, with the 'hedgehog' well positioned,good light increases these textures and colors, good use of narrow DOF to isolate the subject. Nice WS too!

Witaj Henryku,
Bardziej przypomina mi to je¿owca, który zaciekawiony dopiero co wyszed³ na pla¿ê d¼wigaj±c jeszcze krople wody na koñcówkach swych kolców. Mam w swych zbiorach co¶ podobnego, ale na tle innych, krótkich traw i przyznam, nie jest to obraz tak ciekawy jak na tej fotografii. Znów trochê ciep³ego s³oneczka w kadrze i ³adne, boczne ¶wiat³o ³adnie podkre¶laja delikatny rysunek wydmy.
Pozdrawiam,

Czesc Henryk, podobnymi formami roslinnosci piaskowej zachwycalem sie kiedys na pustyni Bledowskiej, blizszej mojemu miejscu zamieszkania . Bardzo smiesznie wygladaly setki takich "jezykow" wystajacych z piachu :) zwlaszcza ze slonce bylo bardzo nisko i kazdy z nich puszczal cienie. Fajnie ze zdecydowales sie pokazac takiego pedzelka, w doskonalym swietle i ostrosci!

He,he,he, nice porcupine, Henryk - I don't know the diference to an hedgehog. I like all the three photos and can't decide which one I like more...so I won't decide :))) but the WSs complement well this one. Love the droplets.
Nice to see another one from you.

Hej Henryku :)
Czy¿by to nowy gatunek je¿a wydmowego?... ;)
W ka¿dym razie jest ¶liczny ze swymi kolorowymi kolcami, na koñcach których widzê wodne brylanciki :). Super siê on prezentuje w ¶wietle s³onecznym. Podoba mi siê równie¿ to, jak pobawi³e¶ siê ostro¶ci± na zdjêciu.
Zdjêcie ¶wietne! :)

Pozdrawiam cieplutko :)

P.S. A w ws baaardzo podoba mi siê zbli¿enie na kropelki :).

Hi Henryk,
Interesting composition. Really looks like a hedgehog. The light that shines on the bush, and the way it stands out is very nice. Colors also very nice. Nice details. Best regards. Salvator.

Hello Henryk,

Superb shot, but I would call this an "African porcupine," or a "North Amercan Porcupine," rather than a "hedgehog." But then, who wants to split hair. Your photo reveals color and texture, in contrast with the fine grained sand. The Worshop is also very interesting and reveals detail.

Warm regards,
Bulent

Hi Mr. Bilor,
This photo is a proof that you are into becoming a dune-man :)
Having got the essentials from the sand and shown us the great sculptor, now you turn your camera into the details of this smoothly sophisticted habitat. Hedgehog is good but imho, the droplets in the WS are just perfect. TFS,
Deniz

Hi Henryk, What a great close up, plants are some times missed in places like a desert, however you have captured this one beautifully & the little drops of water on the tips of the storks show up wonderfully well in this superb light, brilliantly composed & TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Hello Henryk,
we only miss some golden coins and action on the photo to be in presence of new SEGA's sonic:)
But nevertheless I like this approach on the plant which is very impactful not only due to all this pins but also due to the light that striking on it.
The dunes and this neutral colour are a nice background to the main subject.
Cheers.

Hi Henryk, finally you're back after a long time of abscence. Your pictures were missed! Nice detailed shot from on of your beaches. Interesting how you can depict this place in so many interesting views. I like this close-up a lot and the droplets on the top of the grass is a real pleasure. It would have been nice to have some direct sunlight on those droplets to give some refelctions and light features on it.
