Fantastic. I love the people on here who think a bit differently. I doubt this will do well but keep up the originality. Very Funny.

Huge shame about the really bad noise levels on the rear pig's rump, presumably caused by hue shifting. I love this shot otherwise!

Light source on the subjects comes from different directions, looks un-natural. The pink-ness is just a bit too strong, almost like a glare.

This one made me laugh - very original! Good luck in the challenge.

this is definitely different. I like the composition and the creativity. It's a little pixelated on the closest pig but cool photo nonetheless.

Flying pigs... Very "Pink Floydesque". Very imaginative and well executed. The pigs are very grainy and noisy though. A software like Neat Image would highly improve this picture and it's worth it, it's really a great shot.
