I had an idea similar to this one. The lighting seems a little lacking. It isn't as focsed as it should be. Think the wb might need some adjusting while you were taking the pic. - Inspzil

COMPOSITION- Very nice take on the challenge. This is a good subject and I like that it isn't centered. Compositionally I think that you should have kneeled down to get more eye level to the pig and not cut off his ears. I like the look on the mama pigs face.

BACKGROUND- It is good. Nothing distracting for me in it.

CAMERA WORK- You've done good on the low lighting on the. You don't have any dark dark spots or blown out spots. Focus and shutter speed are great.

POST PROCESSING- The color on the is good, I like the different colors of the babies. Maybe a file size closer to 150K would have made it a tad more sharper.

MY OPINION- I think this was a great and humorous take on the milk challenge. Most people would have thought cows, I like that it is a pig. Congrats.

Conceptually this shot is very strong. It tells a story, which is more than many do.

However, with this good of a camera system, there was no excuse for any of the important elements of the image to be out of focus. This really hurts the shot.

I'm especially troubled by the lack of foreground sharpness. At the very least the meter should have been razor sharp. Looks to me from your aperture setting that you tried to put your focus somewhere between the meter and the sign in hopes of including both. I think you would have been better off with a really sharp foreground.

Post processing also could have been employed to boost sharpness and perhaps color saturation. There's an orangey cast to the pic which isnt bad, but I wonder how this would have looked on an overcast day?

Good idea that I think deserves another attempt :).

This cover's the challenge subject very well, looks like a quick snapshot though,Maybe should have focused more on the piglets used that spot light as lighting for them.

This is a great composition. I think the shadow on the meter is slightly distracting but not bad enough to impact your score.

Good idea, but it's a bit blurry.
