Besides designing and building for the family business, guess who has to maintain all the computers? I hear ignorance is bliss.

Thanks for stopping by.

That's even more cruel than my image, at least my bloke is still in one piece. Another great idea.

PS. What bait were you using?

Bravo!

One question, though: Why can we see a faded portion of the snapped wire through the largest piece of cover plastic (at the top w/ hp logo) ??
I assume everything you do is intentional, but that part looks a bit odd since the plastic does not seem to be semi-transparent.
Enlighten me.
Superb job as usual,

Hey guys! Thanks for dropping by. I was glad to be able to shoot with you this week. It's great to see you all!

Hi Carrol, I think what you are referring to is a crease in the outer shell caused by the trap arm when it came down and killed the little bugger. I know it's hard to make out the fine detail a lot of times in the resolution we have abide by in the assignments. Here is a closer view.

Ahh yes Bill, what bait? You know the bait is the first thing to fly off when these contraptions go off. It must have flown out of camera view. Actually I did try a couple of things placed on the bait holder but they seemed to distract and question the simple message. If it were a cordless mouse, I could have used a battery for bait, no?

Maybe a piece of mouse pad sprinkled with cheese for bait, always a pleasure to see your photo's Mike. If your half as good on programing and fixing computers as you are on Photography then you have both worlds at your fingertips.

Brilliant, as usual, Mike, my friend! There is never any point in entering the WA when you do. Your shot wins hands down this week!

Warm regards,

Fantastic image as usual. Technically perfect lighting, though it seems to be deviated from your usual trademark style. Love the creativity in this one.

Thanks for the closeup... just to appease my struggling brain. It was bothering me that I couldn't figure that out. - Excuse my ignorance.

Hope there's not a pattern emerging here: You destroyed your mouse for this shot... there's an innocent white bear somewhere in your closet with no head, thanks to a recent WA ... what next?

Actually Carrol, my faith in Mike leads me to think that he reattached the bear head immediately after taking those shots. He couldn't hurt an innocent stuffed teddy bear, afterall

I voted for this because it got my attention right away. FAST! Really eye-catchy and thought-provoking imagery. Good luck!
