Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


What do I have to say except "MOUSIE!" The picture is amazing and captures life itself as the mouse clings to the twig, as if its life depends on it. What will it do next? Will it jump off? Will it fall off? The look in its eyes are almost unfathomable. Is it afraid? Timid? Fearless? Curious?
The only thing I don't like is how the paw is blurry. It is distracting from the picture and kind of weird. Then again, it's like to say how life is so delicate, and the second you see it and begin to appreciate it, it's gone.
Beautiful image overall, and keep up the great work. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>

The whole thing was so tiny! They were so cute to watch up close Too bad they move so fast though, makes for a tough time taking pictures. >.<

Haha, same here! Luckily there aren't too many in the desert where I live, since it can be ridiculously hot here o_O

I currently have one in my backyard; it's nice to watch him scurrying around, but I don't want him in the house...
Also, I have to keep an eye out what with my cat wandering around Don't want it to get eaten (also because it would make my cat sick) or bitten to death (though I'd probably bury it somwhere).

Flame-of-the-Phoenix In reply to Mouselemur [2013-08-31 06:46:27 +0000 UTC]

Haha, that's understandable (I definitely wouldn't want one in my house either lol)! Hopefully he won't get taken by your cat though o.O
