Food Photo Competition 2014 No 4 : Entry Number 27

Judges Comment

Gruesome to some Art to others. I was just saying that a great photo needs to grab your attention… This certainly does just that with piggy’s eye placed for all to admire. Once again simple is best, your composition is graphic and easy, a circle and lines to lock us on and to make us look into that dead eye. Powerful stuff. ☺

Thanks for the Mark of Excellence! I wasn't sure how to capture this image for the chef? I must have lugged the pigs head in a pot around to 10 different locations trying to find the right spot. I tried studio lighting and it was boring, so I ended up on a wood park table. Thankfully it was a cloudy day and the light just diffused wonderfully around the subject. I used my Sony RX1R on this photo and edited it in LR.
