For a moment I thought you had included an insult with your total averaged rating. *8-)

Taken at the Phoenix AZ Home and Garden show. The detail is from ironwork surrounding a vendor's exhibit, thus was hard to snap and crop without getting ridiculous colourful Mexican pots etc in the background.

Some sort of outdoor iron display 'cabinet' where you hang horseshoes or something, I guess. I wish there were a lot more of some stuff in the pic, but then again I was busting for a pee and didn't want to fiddle-faddle with the camera's settings to get only a marginally better shot.

The incongruous nature of the medium lends a vague congruity in and of itself. Circulars of rust, in coupling with the unrusted ring, becomes the most tangible of congruosities. And it is this that detracted me.

Delightful stretch marks. Distracted me from the rest of the pic. Blur at the bottom of the left chain but heck, who cares? *8-)

Well, my favourite comment is "there is nothing to compare it too". Amazing. The head is disproportionate, the legs are disproportionate to the body, and I don't need a penny next to the toy to get the idea that it's substantially smaller than an actual pig. Plus, it's very crisp and the mixture of pink and purple with the black and white background is very arty. Bravo! (applauds by tapping fingertips of right hand on flat of left palm)
