Many thought that I got the idea from scalvert for this shot, which is partly true:
But it was also inspired by one of my previous submissions done back with my s602z that hadn't worked out as nice as I would have liked:
What I really wanted was to have the sign and mousetrap, but I also wanted to have one of my cats in the background for effect. But, both our kitties love cheese and found the trap VERY interesting since I had caught a mouse with it a few weeks back. This was the best I could with the time and resources I had.
Thanks for all the comments and votes. This was a fun and silly shoot.
Looks like you got your wish, in both score and placement, perhaps unlike the (unseen) subject of your photo. Great job -- we need more humorous shots around here.
But ... no cat would tolerate a secretary with such shoddy penmanship long enough to finish that sign.
Funny. The archway, which I presume you cut, is kind off. The shot is good though. I think this is one of those instances when a centered subject is actually more deisrable.
Minor deductions for the odd-shaped hole and the the blob that represents your cheese. Let's see... that brings your score down to a 10. Too funny! My pick for the blue.
