I have seen similar composition been used before in DPC but had no choice but to copy as the beast failed to show any interest in cheese, my other idea

Fantastic composition, I just wish you had got the hamster a little more in focus rather than the leading edge of the bread. Still, it is definitely one of the images that stand out.
A very cute and humorous shot. A house that provides shelter AND food - what more could a furry little creature want?:-) The plain white backdrop works nicely to call and keep our attention on your main subjects - the bread house and the hamster. There are some nice sharp details on the bread but some areas of the hamster are soft (the little paws and the fur around the head to point to two areas). I suspect it is more due to the fact that these little critters don't stay still for too long rather than a problem with your focus. I don't know what settings you used but for the future you might want to consider an ISO of 280+ and the widest aperture setting 2.8 or less for faster shutter speed to freeze the moment. Lastly, the eye of the hamster is a very flat black...almost looks he/she has no eye. Using flash would increase the possiblity of the eye to catch some light such that you capture some nice catchlights/twinkle in the eye.
I like this however, the tip of the bread seems in focus and the hamster seems a bit out of focus. Love the lighting and the way his head is facing a different direction 6
This looks very familiar. Last time I saw a similar one it got undeserved heavy criticism for cruelty to animals. Nice white background. The focus is pretty soft. I'd like to see the hamster(?) sharper.
