Pink pig with flowers.

In the front yard.

Or cropped?

What a lovely photo of your front garden Hans. Now I know where all your money is stashed!

Beautiful colours Hans, and nice contrast between the pig and the flowers. Both good bu I think I prefer the cropped version.

[HansE]

Thanks Alan. I do as well. The tighter the crop the less it shows of me as a gardner, which is a good thing!

G'day Hans / fellas

As with all images - it depends upon what & where in the photo the actual subject is
In this case as a garden shot, the pig is out of place and 'lost' amongst the foliage surrounding it .... but the cropped image changes our focus on the image and the pig now becomes the main feature ~ and any image with a main feature will grab us easily

Hans- may I suggest more explorations around the pig using different camera positions so that we can see different aspects to its shape / face / etc.

Thanks Phil I will give that a go when the sun reappears. May even have a go at focus stacking. I think it tends to be overdone but have nothing to lose but a bit of ignorance.

This has the focus stacked from three images Foreground ,pig and Nastutiums.
#1



#2 This is one focused at F6.3

[HansE]

That what you had in mind Phil?

I had this wacky notion of the camera looking at its eyes / snout / wiggly tail with the flowers in the background ....... sort of thing
