Created a page of binary numbers with Word. Printed it on a piece of overhead transparency film. Taped it to a piece of glass. Stood the glass on end and shot the mouse through the glass.
Post-challenge comments: Thanks everyone. This image did better than I thought it would.
Some voters took a while to figure out it was a mouse. The mouse was just a prop and not intended to be the subject. The subject was binary, not source code. Anyone can use a mouse, but not anyone can read and write in binary.

I agree with juliboc that this was underrated. Thought it would finish above 6.5 and possibly in top 10. One of most creative entries in challenge, and great composition.
I think this would be much more effective it the binary were not so prominent. It overpowers this photo and caused me to struggle to figure out that there is a mouse in this shot.
This is not good. Maybe if the binary would be in the background somehow. But it is just crowded and distracting. Sorry for the low grade but that is how it goes. The photo is just not good.
