Cropped, contrast, minor spot editing of crumbs, border, resize. That's it! :)
EDIT TO ADD: A lot of people thought I desaturated or colored - nope! This is all natural! The "orange" things are almonds, the "mice/gerbils" are actually young chinchillas, and that's their natural color. Thanks for all the wonderful comments and compliments! :) These are my favorite subjects.

This is a VERY difficult subject. I'm glad you attempted it! Focus would be tough, DOF tough. Shooting fast enough to stop motion tough. Good attempt but inthe end, the degree of difficulty defeated this image. Perhaps a bit more contrast would help the image pop.
The chins are back...alright!!! They are precious!! Light is a little flat, but these two are a scream. I can't tell if this ia a duotone with selective coloration, or if that's their color and they're eating something orange. Either way, it's an appealing capture. Makes me smile!!
tking the titles word for it that those are actually the mices (mices???) names isn't really enough for me. Great capture of the the two little characters though.
Great shot... I love the selective desat... not too fond of the border though. One minor nitpick is the use of proper names in the title. Unless it's someone famous, the use of names is not preferred in the title (just my personal taste). I love the shot though -8
Great shot of these guys..they look like hamsters? but color of mice? Love the expressions and positions in frame..could be a little bit sharper and a little more contrast.
Ok, this wins hands down. Anything with gerbils or hamsters gets a 10. Their little eyes are so sparkly AND THOSE WHISKERS. I'm dying here. SO SO SO cute and well done. Those little toes. HEE HEE HEE You made staying up past midnight worth it. TEN
