4 - Perhaps placing some more interesting objects near Chilli may have given this 'portrait' a bit more of an edge.

Wow, you actually got the gerbil to stay still enough for this close-up! I know someone who has a gerbil and they are very active little critters. Love the details seen on this pet. He/she looks as if he/she is in it's cage/habitat which, unfortunately, acts as a distraction to the eye and takes focus away from the main subject. There is too much 'things' seen in the background and the foreground fares only a tad better with the slight blob of blurred bedding in the lower right hand corner. A simple and clean background (i.e. solid color or just nestled in the bedding) would help improve the picture because the gerbil would visually stand-out as the sole object of interest in the photo.

An expression that is funny and surprising and living up to the title. Great and unsurpassed sense of humor. Bump.

This is very differnt. I have to be honest though, the light by his right ear is a bit distracting. I think this photo's concept is very unique though.
