A bonus find for me whilst wandering through the bushland taking many bird shots for the challenge.
I was too busy looking skyward when I nearly stepped on this little guy.
Only had seconds to fire off a few shots before he burrowed into the side of a hill and would not show his face again while I was there.

Excellent shot. I like the low angle and the detail.

Cute little Echidna. The lighting is soft and pleasing. I would've preferred either a slightly tighter crop on the right (putting the eye at 2/3rds) or more negative space on the right and bottom to give it room to go. My top 10.

Nicely captured. Any time I've tried to shoot one of these it has either been all tucked in or had its back towards me.

I don't think the border helps add anything to this photo. 7
