Comment by Maverick:
Definitely a different sort of race = )
I like the originality and the angle of composition used. I might have either increased the exposure (up the ISO) in shooting or lighten it up a bit in post processing to add some contrast

Great angle and DOF. I like the composition with the second pig lagging behind in the background. This one makes me smile. -8

Comment by Fotowereld:
I find this picture interesting...it is documentary and perfect for that matter! On the other hand creeps up the feeling that this is a scene I find very sad...I feel pity for the animals (and I don't know whether that's correct, maybe the pigs liked the running? I have never seen something like this before...) Apart from that the colours are all in tune, I find it especially very good that you've managed to catch the moment...the animals are definitely running, still it's stopped motion! The numbers on the backs are still visible adding more information to the picture, the crowd on the background, blurred, but still visible enough...perfect picture, but with a slight cruel (for me) feeling in it... ---> 10

I think you will be maked down by some voters as its quite a dark image.
