1. Cropped out the slipped fur and excess sheet.
2. Made it black and white.
3. Adjusted contrast.
4. Added a thin little border just because.
Ok, so this isn't a contest winner, and not exactly an example of beautiful photography. I'm sure comments will say that the sheet below them is distracting, her head should be pointing towards his tail, blah blah... all I have to say is you try working with two active chinchillas on a flat, creaseless surface. I have a picture "box" for them, and it includes a white sheet backdrop, which for reasons that are too tedious to list, must be creased. Oh well. Such is life!
Anyway, I used this photograph instead of some of the more serious ideas I had (an old, wrinkled hand holding a tiny, dimpled baby one, etc), simply because the idea hit me, tickled me pink, and was within my grasp. I don't need to win (and certainly with all of you talented people here, I needn't fear that!), but I did think I'd share my amusement. Hope it gave you a good chuckle! :)

Thanks to all my commenters, minus FatWillie, who it seems has become my photo "stalker" and must leave negative, sometimes completely inane, comments on my entries. I suppose it is kind of flattering to have someone so intent upon whatever that he waits til every thing is over to see if I've entered, then make his comments. Laugh! :)
Cute. Had your background been more neutral relative to the "white" mouse, then I would have rated this higher. As it is, the greatest contrast in brightness values is between the black mouse and the background.
Cute, very cute. Wonder whose this is??? Very nice play on the challenge concept. Too bad the light colored guy wouldn't pose better for you...are they temperamental creatures? :o)
