**Critique Club**
Hi Paul -
Positives:
Original idea using the mouse cable for the tail. The colors contrasting against the black background is a good effect as well.
Possible Improvements:
Definately too much sharpening, as all the edges are pixelated. I also notice what looks to be CA in all metallic surfaces. The crop seems to be a bit off. Maybe rotating just a bit so the trap on the left side is more in the bottom left corner, if that make sense. To me, it just appears it might flow a little better.
Overall I think it was a great idea for the challenge and composed well. I think the biggest problem was that you tried to salvage an out of focus (blurry) shot.
Hope you found the critique helpful.
Cheers!

cute
seems it may be a bit too sharp
and cutting the end of the mouse plug off was a no-no |

Funny! Might be better with all of the cable showing, but this is an excellent, high-contrast image that came out really nice. Good job! |

It took me a while to figure this one out, until I remembered that back in the old days before USB some mice came with plugs that looked like that. Too esoteric. |

An extra point for the clever idea! Colors are great aginst the black background - and great lighting. Compositionally, I'd like to see more of the trap and definitely the entire silver end of the PS/2 cable. |
