EDITORS COMMENTS
In this stunning close-up print captured by photographer Gary Ombler, we are presented with the captivating beauty of a Crested Porcupine (Hystrix cristata). The image showcases the intricate details of its head and quills, allowing us to appreciate the unique features that make this rodent so fascinating. The porcupine's profile is highlighted against a picturesque backdrop in the United Kingdom. Its quills, standing tall and proud, create an awe-inspiring display as they glisten under the warm daylight. Each bristle seems to have a story of its own, showcasing nature's remarkable craftsmanship. With no people in sight, we are given an unobstructed view of this magnificent creature. Our focus is drawn towards the foreground where every strand of animal hair can be seen with utmost clarity. It serves as a reminder of how diverse and extraordinary our wildlife truly is. This particular Crested Porcupine appears to be captive but still exudes an air of wildness and independence. Its side view captures its essence perfectly - strong yet delicate; formidable yet gentle. Gary Ombler's photograph from Universal Images Group (UIG) invites us into a world where even seemingly ordinary animals possess extraordinary qualities worth celebrating. It reminds us to cherish and protect these creatures who share our planet, for they contribute immeasurably to its rich tapestry of life.
