I too think the picture was way under-rated but I understand how emotional some people can become.

Maybe I'm mistaken but I see a much different picture here. I see a well trained pet posing with a mousetrap that not only has been substantially modified to not harm the animal, but also appears at a higher elevation than the animal.

Comment by vadvirag:
Way underrated!!! I love it because of the strong message and it is a shocking photo, yeah. I would be curious about animal lovers' face when these sweet little mice eat their books and food: I would never taste a thing that they had tasted before me. (Anyway just before mice fans kill me, I want to say I like mice and I feel sorry for this one, too, as for all of them who are killed - or fake-killed - with traps.)

C'mon, so many 1, 2, 3 for such a good quality photo is a shame...

Her position seems very awkward and unnatural to me.

Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure/lighting is rather uneven. In some cases this works but here I think it's too off balance. I think the composition leaves something to be desired, another angle might have been more interesting and attractive. Focus is obviously on the right leg/ornament, but with this composition it's a little too narrow for me. The black and whiteis interesting but it looks like there is a lot of artifacting- either that or the patterns on her legs, crotch and on the floor are just very distracting.

Personal: Good idea, but more time, softer more even lighting and different angles might have yielded a stronger, more interesting shot.

My vote: 4
