Thanks Phil. Yes, the pig was dangling from the stair banister where there's not a lot of light, so I was forced to use flash. Now that I've actually got over my dislike of flash, I intend to experiment with Blondie's suggestion of wrapping tissue around it to diffuse the light. The sky bg took me well over an hour to paint in, so I'm glad you like itPigs might fly! .....And a load of old balls!...........two excellent ideas for what I thought was a tricky theme
The focus on the pig looks spot on, good detail and well lit, looks like flash? and used well
Your pp'ing skill are well in front of mine, I wouldn't know where to start, adding a blue bg. You've managed to get a subtle blend of a lighter colour blue below, it certainly looks like sky, well done
Not too sure if the balls look soft ( oh, errr missus ) or not, focus could be slightly right on the racket and the dof could be the cause
With the balls, I used a really shallow dof, focussing dead centre on the top ball, so I can't work out why the racquets seem sharper than the balls, unless it just that they have much sharper edges to start with
