I loved this shot and can't believe it only received 4 10s.

My 7 didn't help much in the rankings but that's only important here, in this challenge. Outside of it this is a fantastic shot and one I would be proud of.

Extra point for being the only pig I've seen in a challenge (I'm pretty sure).

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: Pretty visionary - very painting like; I can't remember seeing an image like this on DPC before - I'm betting you'll have one of the highest comment counts of the challenge. The post processing is outstanding; just the right amount of everything - wonderful high key image.

Critical stuff: All my positive comments are based on the assumption that this is a real pig, on a novel set with great post-processing. The look you've given it may lead people to believe this is inauthentic - there is of course risk with the voters down that route.

Overall: The image is effective; I'll put doubts about authenticity aside and assume the best of you. I think this is great work.

Love this. Looks like a painting, reminds me of a restaurant sign. Nice job. 10

I hope this does well. 10

Very pink! This is kinda cute, but kinda weird at the same time. The processing (I'm assuming it's the processing) has left some blue areas, and has also created a cartoonish look to this.

There seems to be some issue with the lighting... the blue hues on the subject are very distracting.

Strange & intriguing......10
