First look....cute, natural.
Good composition. Texture of the fur, and blue jeans. The colors go together and are well balanced. I'm not crazy about the white base, only because it's a bit harsh and too strong of a contrast. Nice focus and DOF.
Over all it's a good photo with an interesting subject.

Well isn't he a cutie!! My only nit pick is that the white sheet, and the white under his nose is a bit bright. otherwise, I love the focus and clarity. the angle and framing/cropping are great, and the lighting on the subject himself is good. Definately blue. Good luck in the challenge.

Wow - how cute is this? One of the best animal photos I've ever seen - how could you not look at that face! Technically - not real knowlegable yet - but looks to me like photo has great clarity, focus and is nicely composed. Great job!

What a wonderful image!
I love the texture of the denim next to the softer fur of your little critter.
The harsh white lighting really makes me think of coming out of a blue funk and into the light again, as it were. As you can see, for me this photo is about more than what is initially there. It isn't just a photo of a mouse under your trousers!!
I suspect a number of commenters will tell you the lighting is a little too harsh in the way it bounces onto his underside, but I like it that way.
Congrats on this wonderful entry and best of luck!

I love it. This really is one of my top 10. It is perfect in everyway photographically and after all that is what we are voting on - quality of photography. Also within the challenge of "blue" and you got that. Good, no, great job. PTL If it's top 10 it deserves a 10.

This is clever...and very good too.

This is a very cute little guy. Nice idea. Maybe you could try one with him peeking out of the picket. Better than most. Good job.

Very Cute. I think this is a great shot.

Sooo cute! Very nice macro. I am going to -1 point, because the mouse is the subject, more than the pants (the blue part). Still 9 is a very strong score! Swash

something about the bright white at the bottom of the picture... maybe a different color or more of the denim or something not so glaring? otherwise a great picture, good composition and focus.

O my word is this cute. Heehee. Very fun shot. Look at that little nose. Great shot, good light, good focus. Justine

Cool. Is this a gerbil? I had a bunch of them when I was young. Very nice Capture. Jacko 9

REALLY, REALLY CUTE
12/02/2002 07:02:00 AM
Great title! And VERY CUTE! Excellent focus... love this little guy. I would have maybe used a different color for the floor, but nice job anyway. Great focus, and spacing... very nice! Good luck!

Great macro shot!
12/01/2002 09:10:00 PM
ok, thats hitting below the belt for using the cute factor! but hey, great macro while your at it! but the power of such a great macro takes away from the blue jeans, and blue is the theme here!
