"hi mum", a photo from Burgos, Castilla y Leon

Photographer's Note

“Humano”, “Flecha” and more cerdis. All of them characters created by Orson Scott Card.

A few days ago I posted a photo with a provocative title and, believe me, I had thought in another similar for this one.
But really is not a necessary include more countries in this kind of joke (if you know Ender and other characters created by Orson Scott Card, perhaps you know about I am talking).

Now, seriously, these animals are beautiful. Is true, they are so small, so funny, so... of course, when they grow up they are not small, they are not funny, not...

When I make the photo, only a few minutes before they were born. This is also part of the daily work of the farmer who works here. And, as I said a few days ago, is a very worthy work.

I hope you like it.

carlos,
to some it might look gross but this is daily life in the farms and this is how a life starts.
good capture of a delicate subject and moment.
nice use of light and the hint of the sow is a good touch.

Hola Carlitos.

Desde luego, me guardaré los comentarios sobre los adorables cerditos, que no fotógrafo...

Bonito momento.

Un saludo, Oscar

Hola Carlos,
As Pranab said, for many this should be a gross image and not so pleasant and cute as you say, but that allways depends on the personal feelings and opinions. I allways see you as a provocative and original guy who wants to show diferent things. In the end I find this a very interesting daily life picture, very well composed and captured. I've never seen such little pigs.
Muchas gracias,
Un saludo,
Ricardo

Hola Carlos, interesante la foto,,,, diria que es la primera vez que veo cerditos recien nacidos.
Muy bonita.
Por ciero el objetivo es bueno, no hace mucho desde que me lo he comprado y se comporta bien.
Es pequeño y muy ligero.

I don't find anything gross at all in this picture. The tiny piglets still have the birth fluids on them and this shows the miracle of life. I envy the fact that you were able to witness the magic moment the piglets entered the world.

Hola Carlos!
Dime por favor, que the pasa con los cerdos? Uno foto muy interesante y totalmente diferente de las que vemos normalmente en TE. No me gusta la parte izquirda de la foto porque es algo que sobra. Los pequenitos son muy bonitos, especialmente, ellos que estan mirando hacia la camara.
Un Saludo,
Hercules

Carlos, a pesar del aspecto que tiene la imagen. Es interesante por su contenido y el tema que trabajaste llega a una profundidad extraordinaria.

Dam their ugly and slimy. Mental note: "Do not become a veterinarian! tfs Carlos.

Hola Carlos;
foto impactante, no solo por su nitidez, quizas porque no es algo que veamos a menudo. Si el nacimiento de un niño es maravilloso por que va a ser diferente con cualquier otro animal. Bien hecho
un saludo
