OPEN WIDE. This image of a pig happily accepting a slice of brown bread has been named The Journal's Picture of the Week.

It was taken by Karen Mazzilli earlier this month at Midmeadow Farm in Ringsfield, near Beccles.

'I cropped a bigger photo to get this picture, as the pig's appreciative smile really captured my eye and it warranted him having the frame all to himself,' she said.

The hand feeding the grateful pig is that of Karen's daughter Mariella.

They must be taken by amateur photographers, and we'd prefer digital pictures. We do accept prints, but they need to be copies as we cannot guarantee their return. Send your picture with your name, address and contact details to richard.wood@archant.co.uk marking your email Journal Photo Competition.
