Took my kids to play at this farm. Didn't think i would submit for this challenge, as I haven't been shooting much...this was some pig though. I had to try to keep my kids happy and catch a few different shots here at the same time...
"Daddy why do you keep taking pictures?" from my daughter.
"What challenge is this for ?" from my son.
Experimenting...this shot seemed to be looking for a more dramatic approach, so I worked on bringing out the colours more than I usually would.
The pig just sat there, the ducks kept swimming by...
I wish I had a bit more time, but am away with my kids camping so I will leave it as is...

holy cow...er...pig! who would have ever thought that a photo of a pig could be so dramatic? really great shot and i love the comments about your kids.
this is rather unbucket and i like it like that coming from bucket of course. i bet this would be even more enjoyable full sized so that i could actually see that adorable face.
This is a very vivid image. Very nice capture overall. Not sure if can find anything to say other than the distracting trashcans in the near center. IF those were gone this would be a much stronger image.
This is a ten! What an odd picture! Is that a pig? It must be, it looks just like my pig but is her mouth open? Does she like to swim? Is that a graveyard inside the white fence? So surreal.
Is that a pig swimming with geese? Gives new meaning to "Old McDonald had a farm". I really like this, the colors are great. There is a lot of visual interest, and I like the contradiction of the pretty blue pond, and the dirty old barn, it flows with the contrast of the pretty white geese and the dirty pig.
what a great scene, its as if the animals were listening to cues as to where to be in the photo. I think there is a slight too much of a blue tint to the photo and I may have dodged the face of the pig to bring out his face. but thats just what I would do.excellent 10.
