Feeding the Pigs 2

Your comments are greatly appreciated.

The three little pigs, marching along the diagonal of the fence line, almost ignoring the supplicant's arms reaching through the fence! Not being able to see the children's faces makes this image universal - how often have we reached out to touch animals ourselves only to have them turn away, and how many times have we see children longing to reach what is just beyond. The geometry of the image further reinforces this feeling. Everything marches from the bottom right corner to the upper left, with only the opposing diagonal of the children't arms inturrupting it, and alas, their diagonal stops far short of meeting it's goal. Great handling of the BW image thanks for sharing!

Mark, Thanks for your thoughts and insights. I am glad that you enjoyed it.

Interesting photo , I think that the freedom is in the side of the pigs while the kids are blocked - this is the power of a photo where the photographer can choose how to show a situation . - I like the B&W conversion though a bit more tonality will be more to my preferable taste . Good work !

Gady, thanks for your comments. I like your perspective because as much as the children wished the pigs would eat out of their hands the pigs kept their distance.

Great shot Michael. Very well seen.
