Our lovely chubby boy Raziel, curled up in John's ( [user]stphq[/user] ) hands. Not a high-scorer by a long shot but I thought it was really sweet.

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

Nice details and lighting on the rat. That said, it is a fair shot of this pet rat but it doesn't really invoke the song in my head. I see someone taking great care of their pet but nothing that speaks that they are 'carrying' a (great) weight (of their past) and/or not allowing someone to get close emotionally (given some of the lines in the song). The hands cradling the rat shows more of the emotion of love - so for me it just doesn't capture the song title. My other critique is that I wish that the pose of the rat had something more that captured his/her character or emotion - such as standing on all fours, head & nose extended to look lovingly at the off screen owner.
