Lol! Had normally given 5 for this as the composition and lighting are very average but had to bump up by 1 for the nice origami and humor. 6 from me.

Lovely..but you may find that you get criticised for not having included your year in the title...? I like the subject, but the background is distracting and doesn't help the image. The money pig on a black background would have been great.

Don't like the onboard flash, looks like you turned on the "flower" setting. Background is distracting. But the Pig is AWESOME

The colours seem a bit lackluster. Looks a bit noisy as well.

What year would that be? Your title doesn't include the year, as detailed in the challenge instructions, so gotta knock off at least one point for that, sorry.

"Your title should should include the year." Sorry, I'm a bit lost on the year - I haven't memorized the Chinese calendar.

I like the origami pig and the way it ties into the calendar. I find I have more questions than answers with this image. The BG leaves me wondering if I'm missing something or not. Overall, it comes off as a quick snapshot, yet the work on the pig makes me think I'm missing something. 4

I think this is creative but a slightly shorter DOF might highlight pig better.

I think this could have benefitted from a bill that was crisper, and a less busy setting.
