Location: Remote beach in Cozumel, Mexico

Aperture: f/16

 This was definately a first for me. I have never seen hogs on a tropical beach, so I figured it qualified as unrelated. Juggled with the titles Pork & Beaches or Bay of Pigs.

Enjoy



Thanks everyone for all of your advice and kind votes. They were all very helpful. I cannot believe I did not notice the horizon in the shot. Also, after the contest started, and I saw more entries I realized that it probably did not fit exactly into the contest. I just got excited about the photo and was stuck on the "unrelated" portion. Thanks again for your comments, I am going to take everyone's advice and edit the original now to get a nice print for development!

Well, of all the things one can say "you don't see that everyday" to, this shot epitomizes the statement! Rob, I must say... it was only AFTER reading the comments posted here that I even noticed the horizon! It's really not that 'off', and I was SOOOO taken by your subjects and your fantastic colors anyway that it totally escaped my attention! Fabulous job!

Well done on the result. Bay of Pigs is a pretty neat title too.

Ha!! I love this. What on earth!??! Hilarious. Colors are nice. Horizon is a bit tipsy (I'm sure at least 35 people have brought that to your attention by now!! ;) The composition is just so odd and charming that i'm going to overlook the horizon and bump you to 8.

Only thing wrong with this shot is the horizion is way off. (and a little over exposed) A tighter crop would show us more of the great stuff of this shot in this limited space.
Otherwise love this! Great catch, great title!

wish the horizon was level here ... cute idea though ... good colors too!

Now this just cracks me up! How did you get pigs on the beach?? You'll have undoubtedly heard your horizon isn't level, but with pigs on a beach, who needs a level horizon?

Few more steps & you'll have some amazing "Salt Fat!" :)

Is this for real??? Where was this shot?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great idea, sorry the tilted horizon is a bit distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/04/2006 12:16:35 AM
Quite bizarre, well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/03/2006 01:48:10 PM
Now where the hell did you get the pigs from?
Great shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/03/2006 08:49:11 AM
OK. I have never seen THAT before. Do they fly too?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/02/2006 07:16:54 PM
Ok, I'm dying to know how you got these porkers to the beach. Very original shot, and nicely done, too!

My favorite of the challenge so far! :D

the challenge said two objects, so I dont feel this quite makes the challenge, pity as it is a nice photo

Great capure and meets the challenge well. The tilting horizon and the burned out clouds and waves distract a bit IMO, but very good and funny shot nevertheless.

Lol, this is so funny! Have never seen pigs on the beach before. This looks so absurd! Great find.

Great unrelated items! If the horizon was level, I would have given you another point or two.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/01/2006 08:44:02 PM
hillarious!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/01/2006 08:40:17 PM
Haha! Did you bring them? I'm hoping there weren't already there.
