 Didn't know if I should put this in for I didn't know if people would get the title "Quiet as a Mouse". Not an easy shot to take, but peanut butter works spread on the watering can, and then you just wait! and take alot of shots. Hope you like it.

Now this is just so 'dam' cute..... Once again, you have shown us that you are the 'Master' or 'Queen' of the pet images.
That is, the unusual type of pets, like frogs, mice and rabbbits.....

Cool shot and getting him to pose like that :) But I still don't know what QAAM is - 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/03/2007 03:29:49 PM
And what, pray tell, is QAAM? Darn adorable and well executed shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/02/2007 05:14:12 PM
I have to be honest - I have no idea what QAAM means if indeed it means anything. when I Googled it I got ' Quality Assurance Analyst/Manager ' hmm not sure he's a Quality Assurance Manager, and 'Quick-Maneuvering Air-to-Air Missile'. Now I love the second suggestion . . but again I'm not convinced. H

However this is such a great shot that I don't really care what it stands for, and I'm going to give you a 10. Well done.

quiet as a mouse - hilarous
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Quite An Active Mouse!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/01/2007 01:41:01 PM
OK, this is a great image, but I cannot figure out what QAAM stands for. The only things I've found:

Quality Assurance Analyst/Manager
Quality Assurance Association of Maryland
Question Answering Answer Model
Quick-Maneuvering Air-to-Air Missile (Ace Combat game)

None make sense, so I remain confused (as with 50% of the entries this challenge).

How did you get that mouse to hold still for this? Great shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/28/2007 10:36:07 AM
Quite An Amazing Mouse? No vote cause I don't know the acronym.

Q____ And A Mouse?

What does the Q stand for? I like the shot, very cute mouse

this is too cute :) love the colour composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/26/2007 10:22:32 PM
This is an absolutely adorable photo. The green background is wonderful, and the mouse is so sharp. I have no idea what the acronym is, though. Quick As a Mouse?

how damn cute!!!! :0) awesome!

I have no idea what your acronym is, but I am voting on the photo, not the title.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/26/2007 04:52:20 PM
Oh, how ADORABLE! Not sure what QAAM means, but that doesn't mean anything, I'm wayyyyy behind the curve on acronyms. I'll look it up out of curiosity, but this one is so cute, it gets a 10 regardless :)

. . . .back to say, "Whew. ..finally figured this one out. It took some research, but found it: Quick Asse Air Mistake. . .what a cute representation of that one :) I love it!"
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/26/2007 04:21:44 PM
Great picture. Lovely colours and fine looking beasty.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/26/2007 03:13:31 PM
Oh I get it Quick Ass Air Mistake ha ha ha great picture and great acronym.
I guess that the mouse has smelt his own fart up through the watering can. ha ha ha ha ha :) :) 10

It took me awhile to figure this one out..."Quite as a mouse"?...good one. Clarity, composition and subject are all good. I don't particularly like the green background, but that is just me. 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/26/2007 10:54:35 AM
I like the picture but what is QAAM? I did google it but there's nothing matching this setup.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/26/2007 09:43:42 AM
The only guess I have here is Quality Assurance Analyst Manager. The photo is saying something else, but the acronym meaning is not readily apparent.

 02/26/2007 02:37:01 AM
Soooo cute! Love this pic - 9.
