 I dont' know what to say, other than I can't believe the rodent actually sat still for as long as it did so I could get the perfect shot! What a ham!

Congratulations, Dave, on such a strong finish! I agree. It should have been in the top 10, but 15th out of 296 is pretty great!

You've got a great assistant here!

Ha Ha! I love the idea! I always wondered if they planned these things or if it was just done on the spur of the moment. Now a photographer with the guts to go undercover and reveal the secrets! Very crisp photo. You should have provided a meal for your model, since it looked like he/she started to chew the props! The upper left corner becomes very bright and fuzzy. Otherwise, it's GREAT!

I laughed outloud and still can't get the smile off my face! Thanks, you made my day.

I absolutely love this.... The humour factor alone is worth a few extra points in my books. Great idea. I found the lighting above the mouse a tad harsh, but not enough to warrant any deduction. You should do well with this one. Good luck.

Funny! Made me laugh. Would like to see this framed with more of the mouse and less of the proposed hole.

HAHA a great, novel idea, i like it a lot. Only minor critisism is the slight pixilation in the top left hand corner (unless its just my monitor)

It's a good thing I'm home alone right now, I just finally got calmed down from laughing so hard at the 'Java Man' entry, and then this pic pops up and I'm ROFLMAO again !!! What a gem. I love it ! Hilarious. Fits the challenge well IMO, composition, lighting, focus - Great. Awesomely funny and very creative. I also really like your models "expression". Terriffic job. Thank-you for a great photo and much needed and appreciated laugh.

I love the theme. You got a good laugh out of me on this one. The picture itself seems to have some lighting issues but the theme makes up for it completely. Very good.
