| Next time just glue the hamster's paws to the table! :D Though you might want to use something other than your lens cap... Great shot, all the effort was worth it. |

Shannon, I just calibrated my monitor with a Huey and this looks totally different. Not sure if it's actually right yet, but before the hamster was pretty dark, now I can see it's fur pretty well. I'm almost afraid to go back and look at my shots. But somehow, I still need to figure out if this setting is right!
Congrats again. |

My son (username yakatyou) was looking over my shoulder and marveling at this shot. When he noticed who's shot it was he said "Oh, it's scalvert" in the tone of voice that sounds like someone saying 'well that explains everything."
You know that you've got a reputation when a twelve year old recognizes your work. |

| I love shots that tell a story, and this one is fantastic. This reminds me of a story I vaguely remember when I was growing up, with a little thread spool as a mouse's table, etc. It's a tiny bit grainy, which is the only thing keeping it at a 9 instead of a 10 for me. |

| Wow, that's quite a setup for this shot! Or is this maybe always in your house? This photo makes me laugh, the look on the face of the little "varmit" is priceless! Good work! |

| Love this! What a cute little fella. Would have liked the photo even more if the person in the back had a suprised expression or something. |
