And a good catch it is. Love black and white signs. Message is spot on. Great angle and good focus. well cropped and well framed. Smoking pig is awesome. Good picture. Linda

What a neat sign for this restaurant. I would have to go in and sample their menu if I saw this sign. Your composition is excellent and a great entry for this contest. Guess the ragheads stay as far away as possible. LOL

I just love photos like this, and with the hand on my heart, this is the first time I have seen a smoking pig. If this is a sigh for a bar, I suppose it indicates that smoking is allowed. LOL I know you were going for the sign when this photo was taken, but it would actually have been nice if the lamp on the left had not been touched by the frame. Just a small observation,

Your photo is nice and sharp showing clear and well defined details, and also the exposure is very good.

The format and the cropping is all together working well, and the sigh has a good placement within the frame. A funny and well taken photo.

Thanks for the great review.

BTW - your probably right about the lamp - the shot would have looked better if there was space between it and the sign. Guess I'll have to be more aware next time I shoot a pig sign :-)

How often do you think you will find a pig sign with a lamp behind it ? LOL You are more than welcome for the review.

good focus, light handling and details

Thank you for the review, but I guess we'll have to disagree on the story telling. Shalom.

Very catchy, very clever, nice capture. Kinda entices me to want to go inside and eat. Nice angle of shot, good lighting, clarity and framing.

Interesting looking sign of the pig with a cigarette in its mouth. Must be smoked pork. :) Humorous way to advertise. Great visual impact. ~Alveria
