Love the tones a lot. The mouse trap needs to be a little brighter to draw the eye to it more since it is a key element in this photograph. Currently I am drawn to the pipes in the background. Still very good image and it should do well. 8!

Plates? Never heard of 'em.

Hi Tim,

I know it's been awhile since this challenge has ended but I wasn't around back then when this masterpiece was created! Since the version 4 of this challenge just got announced, I figured this would be the perfect time for me to make a comment on this image by saying how much I love your attitude, your outlook on life, and the kind of photos you take. I also wanted to ask you to please enter in the 4th version of this challenge that just got announced and totally disregard how it would finish. Can't wait to see what you'll come up with next. Don't worry where it will rank because some people will hate it no matter what, but one thing they cannot deny is the fact that whether they love it or hate it, they WILL remember it and that is what it's all about! Good luck!

More funny than sad. It cracked me up though. Nice expression :) Also, I wish the eyes were a bit sharper.

Brighter eyes would have made a huge difference here. Since this is a fairly closeup shot, the only way a viewer can get the impression of sadness from this image is if his eyes were more visible. I wish you had brightened his eyes more in photoshop.

One of the most thought-provoking images to have ever been entered on DPC. This image deserved to be in the 8+ range. Well done and well deserved!
