Cute and original in a sea of "ho hum" in this challenge. I hope this ribbons.
PS: He looks half drowned! 10 in the interests of better photography :)

I think the ungroomed-ness of the mouse's fur gives off a slightly "diseased" feeling (usually only sick animals don't groom). I think that takes away from what could be an absolutely adorable image. The idea is great and the moment is perfect--the mouse's expression is cute and he seems very possessive of his cheese : )

This is amazing!! I love this photo and I just saw the ratatoullie last night so maybe I'm just in love with cheese as well!

Congratulations Lydia. The softness of the background is a nice contrast to the sharpness of the dragonfly.

I have to say, I'm blown away that this picture came in low. It is so visually interesting!

Nothin' to do in this Punky Little Town

Great implied environmental portrait, i.e. vibrant teenager being held back by the small, nothing to do, stereotyped town. The presence of the lock in the frame was a great choice. Keep those teenage boys locked up in that town! I have daughters to raise in the big suburb sprawl of SoCal! ;) I do think that the image is too dark overall, other than that I like it, and it's connection to the challenge has grown on me over the course of the week. 6 because it's just a bit too dark.
