THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
Superb work. I really like the contrasting textures - with the outer spines and the inner softer, more feathery-looking areas. Nice depth and lovely colouring.
I especially like the idea of leave-me-alones as _things/beings_ and, moreover, as things/beings which come in different colours.
Now, where's a leave-me-alone when I need one? Maybe I could borrow this one for a bit?

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

lol at PJ. Not sure if it's related to the People Eater, but I think it certainly is related to the Pork-u-purple (close relative of the porcupine :) Nice John.
