Cute!! I thought about something similar, but our rat wouldn't cooperate. Glad yours turned out. I like that you were able to keep little rodent in focus. Good job! and good luck with the challenge.
This is my favorite of the challenge. Nice work in every way. The shallow depth puts all the emphasis on the subject. (is his name Algernon ? well, give him a flower just the same) Beautiful and creative work! 10
Technically very well done. Important to keep the eyes of the animal in sharp focus when using such a shallow DOF. Its comic and very nice image but I sort of a feel sorry for that animal (and the owner of the toothbrush).
Great use of Shallow DOF...wow! This is my pick for a ribbon...great idea and wonderful execution. I only have two things/questions I'd like to mention. The exposure inside the cup seems a bit dark. Also, I'm wondering if having a bit darker cup would help make the white/lightness of the mouse's head and pink paws show up a bit more?
Great shot, though a little more DOF might have been nice, as the head of the toothbrush almost disappears. I like that it blurs, it's just a little much for me.
Very nice. What's up with all the toothpaste and toothbrush shots though? All of a sudden that's all there are. There weren't common a few weeks ago. I guess it's the new craze. This photo, in my opinion, actually uses these rather boring subjects in a remarkable way. I am very pleased with the focus on the mouse alone. Keep up the great work.
