my intellimouse exploded looks like an insect (skeleton). but if you turn at 180 degrees (your head or the photo) you can see something else...

Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil

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

I believe more even lighting would have been better and would have emphasized the symmetry better.

Very cool! How did you ever think of this? The photograph is technically good too. Well done.

Cool idea and a great shot, looks like a transformer!
Lighting is great though maybe a touch over exposed, but that's being picky.
Great shot, well done.

hope my mouse doesn't suddenly transform into something....omg, it just moved....
ha, nice pic, it's symmetrical, but that doesn't seem to be the selling point here. Even so I like this

good job, the symetry pulls the picture together.

Id love to do that to my crappy intellimouse! Good light and focus. Interesting arrangement. 8 - floyd

The focus is good, I don't know if I like this color. The lighting is uneven, glare on the right, dark on the left.

NIce entry. You've captured a mouse in a way I have never seen before. Your photograph also has a great tonal range, good exposure and is overall very well done.

Wow - is that how they go together. Great work. The lgihting is perhaps a bit strong from the right - causing some blown out highlights. It's a great subject though.

Original idea - fitting title too. Very well-balanced for the challenge. 8.

Very interesting. Seems a little grainy.
