Hey John, Good to see something out of the past. This was probably more of a lucky shot. Usually I find dead mice in with the bird food.

It couldn't get out because it was in too deep and the sides were slick plastic. It just kept running around the edges. I was finally able to scoop it out with the cup that I keep in there for when I fill the feeders. |

I like the graphics of both of the images and the composition in each of the images work well. I'm not sure that both of these work as a Yin Yang. You might try working with each image separately and flipping and inverting to make one side high key and the other low key to come up with more of an abstract. |

It looks like you were able to get quite close with the lens you were using. It is a little difficult to work with two subjects but it helps that they are looking towards the center. This could be fun to play with. You might try more of a minimalistic approach and crop this to leave just a little slice of the siding as a base and give some tension by the low position of the birds. I probably would do some burning on the stud to give it less attention. It would seem to make it look more like a diptic. |

The foreground trees help draw attention to the yellow of the bus. It does appear that your meter was fooled by all the white in the scene and it left it gray. This could have been corrected either by adjusting your exposure or something like levels or curves after the fact, especially if you shot this in RAW. |

The lighting really brings out the great texture of the buoys and the ropes. I might have tried to include a little more of the buoy to left.I like the three loops in the ropes but the white area draws they eye away from them. You might try to tone down the light areas behind the fence in the lower right. |

I like the way you have used the depth of field to isolate your subject and minimize what could have been a confusing background. I like the catch light in the eye. You might try reducing the saturation a bit to see if you can bring out more detail in the orange feathers on the chest. To me, the cracker crumbs remind me of dust spots on the sensor. It might have helped to catch this just a fraction of a second earlier so you could see part of the cracker in the mouth. |

Interesting curves. I like Sam's suggestion to help draw attention to them as your subject. You might have waited until there was a car either coming in from the right or entering the curves toward the left. In a perfect world, it would have been a red sports car or some other bright color. |

He wasn't really posing. He was in a rounded corner as far away from me as he could get. The catch light was from the external flash with the flash's diffuser down.
I don't know how he got in there unless the lid wasn't on tight. I do have a hinged cover that I made to keep the lids from being torn up by raccoons, so the lid could be popped open a little and I wouldn't notice it. I have had dead mice in there before but that was when I was trying to cover the holes the raccoons had made in the lid. That wasn't a tight seal at all. |

I think all of our eyes would be wide and alert if we were caught someplace we weren't supposed to be and couldn't get away from some giant coming after us.:)
