beautiful

awwwwwwww cute

Creepy

Lovely crazed detailing on the (enamel?) surface. Would have liked more light on the right side.

I experimented with several macro shots that I felt accented the screw or the coin too much. I thought this focused mainly on the slot which is the contest theme. I liked the cracking enamel paint of this old bank.

Sorry, but if this is a piggy bank, it may not be on theme. "Coin slots" are for "slotting" in coins to operate some kind of machinery. The contest requirement says as much. I can be wrong of course.

I figured the term "coin slot" was the contest focus, but I'll understand if it's considered off theme.

nice Motion Blur

I like this take on the theme. Normally, there would be very little gradient here: sharp grasses and leaves, highly contrasted with a dark pig, but the gradient comes alive because of the life and energy of the whole system. A very creative entry!

I like your comment, I thought is was maybe not the right fit to enter in the contest, but after all it is (in my opinion) a nice gradient.

balllaaaakkk..its really hurt :P

Great shot and title =)

Beautiful back lighting and composition. Well done!
