Thanks for all the feedback. It seems that many did not understand what was unusual about the object. I guess I should have used a title that simply described that it as a "Pooping pig candy dispenser", but I hate using deadpan titles like that.

Great job with the conversion and post processing! I didn't vote in this but I probably would have given it a 6. I think when you get a closeup like this it's better to have a shot where the animal is looking right at the viewer. Now with it facing off to the left, it makes you wonder what it is looking at and then the pull of the photo suddenly ends there because of the close crop.

This made me laugh (I love that face!) and I gave it a 6. I think I didn't give it a higher score because it didn't seem all that unusual to me - but definitely funny! I think the composition was fine for this.

Steve - I didn't vote this one very high. Reasons: Lighting is a bit harsh, the bird is uncomfortably too close and in your face (as a viewer), and being that Eagle head shots are done with frequency here at DPC the bar is placed quite high.

Predicted critiques:
-Cropped too tight
-Impression of a slight halo around the front of the beak.

I gave you a 6. The reasons you noted prior were a factor and I thought the sky color looked too artificial. You have great detail...just too close.

Steve - I didn't vote this challenge and honestly hadn't even looked thru the entries...

At first glance this photo made me smile - it's infectious I guess. :-P

Regarding the pig being a candy dispenser? I had no idea and thought it was a piggy bank. The "poop" in the background looks too large and round IMO to simulate the real thing, and may have more impact a bit closer to the pig (but then you'd throw the balance off a little I suppose).

In the end, too much thinking required for some to grasp the concept in the hurry thru and vote mentality.

All JMO of course. :-)

I really like the humour and would have found it hard to give this shot less than 5 simply for the smile.

Technically I think the pink cast might have cost you some points, I think possibly desaturating it some might have helped with this.
