Here, piggy, piggy, piggy...

For those who asked:
1. The two-tone background doesn't 'signify' anything, I just wanted something other than just plain black and to perhaps show some depth. I can see how it might distract the eye.
2. The pig is really that color. I didn't adjust the hue or saturation at all.
3. The "nothing to compare proportion to" comments puzzled me a bit because I was using the pig as a stand alone comparision. The stubby little legs and the really round tummy with the tiny little head smacked of comic proportions to me straight off. However, I understand that a lot of people were looking for side-by-side items to show proportions between two items.
4. Thanks to everyone who made a comment!

Great subject matter! The reflection on the snow is a bit bright, but I like the silhouette effect. Border adds to the photo. 8.

Great DOF! I like that you've made the bigger one in focus, as it represents that it is more important and should take center stage. What will it be when it opens? 9.

Good subject choice - really represents proportion well. I like the angle of the photo and the fact that you've chosen a billboard on a building, as opposed to a freestanding one. It eliminates messy background noise. Classy border, too. 9.

This cat is absolutely gorgeous! Your lighting is fantastic and I love the way Leo is looking at the camera - he looks like he's trying to send a telepathic message. =)

Definitely shows proportion! Maybe cropping the left a little bit so it's about the same distance away as the right from the edge would be better. Also, I'm sure a million people have mentioned the annoying speck to the left of the smaller one? So ... what is it anyway?! 8.

Love the way the child is looking at the balls like he wants to jump up there and take them as his toys. Great show of proporations. 9.

The lighting is a bit too dark on the left and in the center to see the true proportions you're trying to capture. Clever idea, though!

Love this idea! The color of the lights really makes this picture eerie, which matches with the posture to tell a story. Good job. 9.
