Thanks to all who took part in our last, thimble challenge.

 

For this weekend, we have a Piggy Bank. What will you make with it?

 

The “rules”:

* Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc

* Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum "regulars".

* There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

* The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

 

To download the image below at full size, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

 

 

When posting back your image – please use the blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

 

Have fun

 

Dave

As an aside, for some reason the forum is not sending me the usual email notifications when someone posts to this thread or puts a like on my submission. I have checked and reset the pertinent settings, logging out and then back in, as someone recommended on another thread, to no avail. This started happening towards the end of the previous SFTW, then it worked fine for a while but has not worked on this SFTW thread. Is anyone having similar issues?

Rafael,

 

There seems to be, or have been, a general email notification maintenance, disabling notifications on weekdays 3AM - 1PM UTC = 8PM - 6AM PDT, with loss of noticiations.

Ah, thanks, Dave. Too kind. I wonder if there was a time when people considered pigs to be part of the Pachydermata order. Interesting to seeing the elephant here among them. I think that's a tapir right behind the elephant? “Rhinos, hippos, pigs, peccaries, horses, zebras, donkeys and tapirs are classified in clade Laurasiatheria, while elephants, hyraxes, manatees and dugongs are classified in clade Afrotheria.”

I started on this as soon as I saw the slot, before anyone had posted back; and returned just now, to a few surprises.

This is my brother Geoff who is a year younger than me. 

And my still younger brother Glyn:

 

I wish I had a picture of me with the pigs, but alas, that is not to be. So, in the interest of fair play, that's me on the tractor, and brothers Glyn and Geoff on the trailer.

Nice family photos Trevor, and I like the way you've sneaked this week's pig into each of them 🙂
