A bit more artsy than my thoughts of what Nat Geo usually publishes... but I love the mood of the image.


I may or may not be voting, so please do not equate my comment with any score.

BW is seldom used in NG. It's risky to submit one for an NG challenge. Simply because I think most people associate NG with bright colourful sharp work. I like the tight crop and the belligerent pose. Your s/s was too slow and the image is not pin sharp due camera shake. Not all images have to be pin sharp but in a reasonably static moment, like perched birds, a pig that is not a fast mover till he's running, I think it's imperative to get that right. His eyes are almost invisible even if I push my monitor so dodge that as NG allow dodge and burn. Sure the invisible eyes add to the menacing feel, so your call. Until your shutter speed improved I doubt it would be published unless it is a "one-off" unusual image, sorry!

Ben, this is such an extraordinary image. Brutal and fascinating. Very "in your face" in every sense.
