Another close call to ribbon-dom.

Many thought that I got the idea from scalvert for this shot, which is partly true:


But it was also inspired by one of my previous submissions done back with my s602z that hadn't worked out as nice as I would have liked:


What I really wanted was to have the sign and mousetrap, but I also wanted to have one of my cats in the background for effect. But, both our kitties love cheese and found the trap VERY interesting since I had caught a mouse with it a few weeks back. This was the best I could with the time and resources I had.

Thanks for all the comments and votes. This was a fun and silly shoot.

Looks like you got your wish, in both score and placement, perhaps unlike the (unseen) subject of your photo. Great job -- we need more humorous shots around here.

But ... no cat would tolerate a secretary with such shoddy penmanship long enough to finish that sign.

Hallelujah!! I can FINALLY give something a 10!!! This has got to be one of the least inspiring challenges I've voted on. Thanks for allowing me to find a little gold in the pot. An image that not only MEETS the challenge but is beautiful as well. Great colors, lighting, comp. and crop. Love this. It's a fave.

Funny. The archway, which I presume you cut, is kind off. The shot is good though. I think this is one of those instances when a centered subject is actually more deisrable.

Like the humour, (and the spelling) well exposed.
