Wow - my first ribbon! Thanks to everyone for voting so high!

How I did it...

1. Loaf of bread with a hole burrowed through it - by me, not the hamster!

2. Two toilet roll tubes joined at 45 degrees and inserted in loaf.

3. One very sleepy and almost zombie like hamster.

4. Insert hamster in toilet roll tube and wait for her to climb up.

5. Take dozens of pictures!!!

Very nice idea! Creative and good use of shallow DOF. I'm guessing you superglued the rodent into a prepared hole in the loaf, OR you get 100% for patience! Either way, keep doing that thing you did to get this one - well done! Most deserved. I actually like the idea more than the first placed, which although a lovely shot, seems to be less thought-demanding than yours, though I bet the photographer had to wait and be very patient, or use remote and read a short novel while waiting.(I don't really think you superglued it ("no animal was harmed whilst filming", etc...)

OMG!! It's awesome! It's beautiful! It's the best picture I've ever seen in my entire life!! I love it!! *favs* I can see that this little critter chews on the bars of the cage ;). Seriously though, it's a really great capture. Nice colors, good lighting, and it gets your interest with something just a little different. Alright I'll stop rambling now :P.
