Really great photo. I didn't vote on unfortunately but i would have givea 7. Some suggestion to improve tyhe shot would be.
1. a light from the top
2. a plain background (white or black)
3. more DOF
4. maybe a stop more exposed.
This would have been incredible but it's great anyway!!
Oh, the memories this brings back to me! I had this game when I was a kid and LOVED to just set it up and watch it go! They still make it, huh? Okay, now that I've reminisced... on to the picture... Very nice composition - I like the edges of the board in the background adding dynamic interest to the shot and keeping the eye in the frame. The colors add a lot of interest, also. I'd like to see a little mouse sitting and waiting under the trap. Overall, a 9. Part of that may be due to the emotional factor that this made me smile in the morning before I've finished my coffee (no easy feat), but really, overall it's a very fun photo!
welllll.. lots of colors anyhow. i think the flower print cloth is distracting from what your 'real' image is off. a bit soft.. or blurry.. isn't sharp sharp...
