I think you need a bit more contrast, to make the dark areas darker, as this is quite a "dark themed" image.

Very harsh lighting, creating ugly shadows. if flash has been used it would improve it by using bounce or reflected light.

**Critique Club**

Hi Paul -

Positives:
Original idea using the mouse cable for the tail. The colors contrasting against the black background is a good effect as well.

Possible Improvements:
Definately too much sharpening, as all the edges are pixelated. I also notice what looks to be CA in all metallic surfaces. The crop seems to be a bit off. Maybe rotating just a bit so the trap on the left side is more in the bottom left corner, if that make sense. To me, it just appears it might flow a little better.

Overall I think it was a great idea for the challenge and composed well. I think the biggest problem was that you tried to salvage an out of focus (blurry) shot.

Hope you found the critique helpful.

Cheers!
Chris

Good idea but the shirt distracts a little maybe if it was darker or didn't have text would have been better.
