Best picture of Pigs in Flight ever! Superb job by you, and pretty impressive by the pigs as well (I'm assuming from the tight formation that this was done with captive, trained stunt pigs and not in the wild? Is it the Thunderpigs?) 8 & thank you.

Probably a bit of both. I was on an ATV behind them and was more than a bit nervous about the outcome (so there may have been some camera shake). This image was taken in I just realized I used a copy my son had "tinkered" with for this edit. Hmmm. This was taken with my 30d back in 2007. I'll try to find the original and compare. We have a Polaris too and just love it. It has hauled our ancient selves up many a mountain trail.... I really like your idea of mounting a camera on the handle bars :)

Interesting ride there. My daughter and I had opportunity to herd a calf on our bicycles once. It had gotten out of it's field and was wandering down the road.

Touching image, emotional. See this as a 'Get Well Soon / Missing You' card. Personally, a proper sepia or lith-process would have appealed much more than the lighter yellowish that looks a tad washed out. Increased contrast perhaps? A slight burn of the path may also help, unfortunately my eyes are drawn to the path more than it should be; a typical problem with white in the negative space.

More than a bit of myself in this image; aged, bent and broken n time yet clinging to life being lived around it. Tenacity, even in death. A very good image, well 'preserved' for those who will allow themselves the time to be still and just observe the scene, watch and see. There is much to be seen.
Sadly, just another reminder that we do not spend enough time looking at images when voting. I gave it a 6, now I wonder why it did not get an 8 from me.
