Bought for $1.49 at the 5 and 10 on mainstreet in Newark. Broken rather quickly with a hammer when it got home. Shot with just the pieces and didn't like the results. Reassembled with my glue of choice, Scotch Super Strength all purpose adhesive. Bounced flash off a white card on the left side. Edits include, levels, contrast, unsharp mask, a lot of dodging, and a little burning. The pig, now named Yuri, has been adopted by a friend of mine.

all in all, a good entry, above average. i just hope you didn't break the bank just for the sake of the challenge ;-)

Overall Score: 7 (weighted), Show me the money! ;-)
This image is far toooo cool! I really like the way you have offset the subject to one side and overall it is very easy to look at. The expression on the pig has a resigned look of..... "Oh well". Very uplifting. Good luck.
Well within the spirit of this challenge. I like the artistic presentation as well. Is that my monitor playing tricks on me, or is that a smudge near the top edge and top-right edge? Yes, there are a couple of artifacts which detracts from the beauty of this shot. It's subtle, but unfortunate. Still, just a minor issue. Good job!
