wot an incredibly excellent photograph .. cant understand the votes on this one ... all those 4's and 5's .. it makes no sense at all .. definitely a very WOW shot to me ..:)
Someone needs her nails clipped! I like the hay; was that a bribe? I would think the box would be enough, as any self-respecting guinea pig would be happy to munch on it. She does look a bit puzzled and the pose with her head turned is actually quite lively for a piggie pic. The rough edge on the top of the box adds interest.
Oh! What a lovely piggie! I absolutely LOVE the pose as the face, being white, contrasts over the back of the body instead of visually blending in which would probably happen if the hair were all the same color. Not to mention the pose looks so curious and alert. I had a pig and he did not get any of the plastic igloos, but boxes to play in.. so this brings back memories. And I love the addition of the hay - it makes it look as though the piggie is right at home in your photo. I maybe wish some of the top had been cropped off - it isn't horrible there or anything, just a bit unnecessary to me. Oh, and another thing! Pretty good detail in the white hair and good job eliminating the red-eye problem. And.. I like the lighting because it emphasizes the face, and it seems elegant and dramatic. Okay, I'm rambling... I just love guinea pigs and your photo is very nice!!
