EDIT 2: Some colour and tone adjustments made, this version looks much better than the last. Enjoy!

EDIT: Bimbo died on 26th July 2007. His friend Ketchup died about a month earlier. R.I.P. Bimbo and Ketchup.

Thankyou to everyone who faved or commented, your support is greatly appreciated, and I'm glad (and I'm sure Bimbo will be glad too) that this photo and his cute little face brought happiness to your day.

-------------------------------------
This is one of my guinea piggies. His name is Bimbo. o_O

The sepia makes him look kinda... stoned. If pigs can look stoned. Or dead. One or the other. But in the real colour photo his fur is bright orange and it just clashes badly.

I didn't intend to take this photo at first (which is why it's set on my trampoline in the backyard). I was actually taking photos for my *new* photography assignment (refer to anna & i #3 for the full sad story of my assignment) and i just couldn't resist taking one of those cliche shots of an animal with a camera.

model = bimbo (isn't he so KYOOOOTE!!!! <333)

This is absolutely adorable, and I do agree, Bimbo looks a tad bit stoned. Sepia might do that to all animals; I'll test it on my ferret sometime.
I really like the way you used the Sepia tones vs. the black-and-white to make the camera stand out. Cute models, of course, make for cute photos.
Favourited, 'cause pigs deserve it and so does this photograph.

And then he realized that he loved the eagle better than the sheep and that he always would and that, because he did, because it was in him to do it, he could never be perfect in the sight of God.

I guess in such a situation you shouldn't say "Cheese!"... It would distract him from taking the photo :D

Very nice shot!

This is hilarious. I love it. Great capture. It's a bit cockeyed, most likely due to being set on a trampoline... but no complaints. This is humorous animal photography at it's best. Made me chuckle.
