very sad, but technically very good. *runs away*

I actually gave this a 7 and in retrospect should've scored it much higher. Obviously Kinks didn't kill a mouse just for the pic.

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.

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...

Takes guts to submit stuff like this. Glad you had them for this shot. I once had to "take out" 27 mice in a four month period in an old house I was living in about 10 years ago. I have no mercy for these little guys when they're on my turf.

Technically well made and fits the challenge well, but way to harsh for my taste, allthough I see dead mices almost every morning when they are brought to our frontdoor by our cats.
12/30/2003 06:02:59 PM
Sorry ...I can't look at this picture
12/30/2003 01:40:30 PM
I can't stand Mice, Gothcha Sucka! Nasty! Great shot though, amybe you can post this shot in alleys and stuff and maybe they will get the idea. You think? hahahahaha

How sad
12/30/2003 12:40:53 AM
Poor little mousie. I hope she didn't suffer. Unique photo, but I hope you don't get hammered.
12/29/2003 05:19:11 PM
this is a bit.... gruessome... poor mouse.... :(
12/29/2003 02:03:46 PM
This is technically fine, I suppose, but it makes me very unhappy to look at it. I sincerely hope this animal wasn't injured to get this shot; at the very least, it's terribly scared.

Very cruel...

who wants to see this
12/27/2003 10:55:31 PM
I hope this is not a real image. Sad haunting and disturbing
12/26/2003 01:31:10 PM
yikes, poor guy, I always liked mice...he overstepped the boundary between nature and civilization?

Did mouse survive the ordeal? Good concept, maybe better if the trap was still raised about to fall. Nice composition.

No blood in the ears or nose, this must be a very fresh kill :-)

woah. definitely a different sort of animal entry. just makes me wonder how you took it (doesn't look dead to me.. looks a bit like a model). either way, a nice capture. unfortunately, i imagine you might receive some low scores from animal lovers solely based on the subject.

Outstanding photography and imagination.

12/24/2003 07:52:55 PM
technically very good but as an image it is offensive to me and I personally see no connection to the challenge
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/24/2003 07:12:00 PM
Damn, I actually feel sorry for the little guy. Wouldn't like to meet him face to face though. Nice shot!

many will complain... bwahhaa..

Boy are you going to get some stick for this! I gave you an extra mark for having the balls to put this up here. Technically the colour and focus and dof is very good. 7

Taking a chance. You'll get lots of 1's from animal lovers.
Nice clear shot.

Urrrgggg.... It's certianly an interesting photo! Technically spot on too.

Great idea! Nice shot. I like the way that you set trap donĀ“t to hurt the mouse.
