 set up at home with 'flying pig cat toy' suspended with fishing line and my computer monitor as a background. it was difficult getting the 'line' to vanish, but with enough noise reduction/threshold i was able to do it. tons of 'basic' darkroom; to include selective color adjustment, curve adjustment, levels, contrast, brightness, noise reduction, sharpening.

No harm was done to the animal in taking the photo, I hope.

Not really crazy about the post processing, gives off a strong halo around the pig that I do not like and I am not surprised this had to be validated, I too would have suggested an inquiry. Also the saturation is too strong for my taste.

Having said that though I LOVE the idea and it made me smile and the composition is very good along with the choice of backround. Still gave this a 6 dispite the poor image quality :) Keep it up!

Wow, very cool! The horizon seems just a little off - I don't mind a tilted horizon, but either more angle or level might be more pleasing to the eye.

I really like the way you you set this shot up.. I would like to see the 'pig' a little less softly focussed. Good use of the rule of thirds.

Kind of an interesting dreamlike quality to this one, Maybe something that would be suitable in a kid's book or something?

The lighting is nice, but there's something about it that kinda bothers me. Maybe it's the kiltered background angle...
