This photo has nothing to do with ribbons except for the fact that you mentioned them in your phrase/title. Even as a free study image, a rat and a pipe doesnt appeal to me much.
I really had to laugh at this - Take a photo of a mouse, and make it fit into any challenge by adding a really long title. Haha!!! (This mouse is very cute)
I'm not going to vote because it doesn't meet the challenge, and I don't vote on DNMCs.
Hmm, this has to be one of the biggest shoehorns I've seen in a while.
Focusing on the shot alone, the lighting is a touch harsh and there appears to be a lot of noise, but then, I'm guessing that you're not aiming for blue here.
