Wonderful, Donna. Seems to be walking righ up to inspect the lens. Guess sometimes you have to get down and dirty. #374345

Thanks for all of the nice comments;everyone!

Susan, I didn't have a protective filter on the lens but I should have had one. I don't own any..

A few of the piglets ran up to the lens, sniffed it and got it full of mud. I cleaned it and it looks ok but that wasn't smart of me to go out there unprotected. Maybe I'll pick up one for this specific 'funny animal'lens, but I don't think that they make any kind of filtersfor the super wide angle lenses such as mine. I neve saw a place where it could be screwed in..

Thanks for the comments. #376559

The piglet is adorable, especially at the angle you shot him. He would be a great character in a childrens book. Ma #376576

Donna, the result was worth the effort! Hope your camera is OK. They don't go through the washing machine very well. Great job and congrats! #436459

Congratulations on this incredible and funny image, Donna! Wish it had gone higher but of course it's still where it should be -- among the finalists! :-) #440747

Donna R. Moratelli March 22, 2004 0

Thank you very much; Patricia! I value your opinion. You have a great eye for seeing a winner and your right almost every time!!

I hope your right this time again!

I think that this little piggie with the boo boo turned out quite well also. The late day light was in my favor. I have some more reeeaally funny pictures of the piglets, but I'm not sure that the others are suited for this site!! THanks again. Donnarae~ #440983
