One point off for not putting the year in the title. There is a year of the pig every 12 years. Cute pig though.

*Which* year of the pig? Interesting origami but I don't see what the blue thing adds to the composition.

very original, even if year not obvious, pig synonymous with business acumen.

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.

year?

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.

That's a new spin on this challenge. Well done!
11/23/2006 07:25:07 AM
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.

No mention of the year in the title.
11/22/2006 07:04:46 AM
year??
11/22/2006 06:56:27 AM
Does not fit challenge?
11/22/2006 06:50:36 AM
What year?
11/22/2006 01:33:25 AM
What year is this?
11/21/2006 08:38:07 PM
hmmm, cool oragami, but the background is awful

Take us back to yesteryear by photographing something that defined the year you were born. Start googling, looking through old news papers and magazines, and show us your photographic interpretation of the year of your birth. Your title should should include the year.

Does not really rock me either, this happens every 12th year, so ... when? Nice folded note, harsh lighting and messy backgound.
