Composition - Interesting twist to a mouse. I never realized it could look like a robot, or a bug for that matter. The dead center framing and the color tones of the shot are a bit cold and clinical. This might have been a little better served to be turned corner to corner or something to give it a little twist, so to speak. I think it needs a little more interest factor though. Perhaps a different perspective would enhance that too.

Technical - Well taken photo. Good focus, DOF is not really an issue. The exposure is a little dark and I think it was meant to be that way. I like the way its lit. The lighting could be a little less direct to give the left side a little less to the light and promote a few more shadows there. I see the comment on top about evening out the lighting and I disagree. The symmetry is there, we need a little interest methinks. I don't know if you added a little grain or that happened in processing but I see a little on the shaded side of the mouse. ISO 50 is definitely not the cause. Perhaps its intentional too. I don't think it bothers the image but may help it a little.

Overall - I think you had a great idea disassembling this mouse. It just needs a little something . Maybe a dark background would've brought the contrast more to the forefront. I think that's a lot of the reason I think "cold and clinical" is the white background. Its a technically sound image, just needs a little something to perk the viewers interest. Good job and good luck in future challenges - Inspzil

Finally, a picture with color as the main subject, not just a picture with a lot of color. I like it.
