 The title was going to be:
"Bring me Wallace! Alive if possible. Dead...just as good." (from GodFather) but i couldn't decide if it would be understood. Decided otherwise.
Well...
Tried to make my cat look at the little mice without eating them. Took me half an hour if not more.
Done.

Cute idea (and title). Uncooperative cat. This would be quite a shot if you could get down low and have the cat's eyes riveted on the mice.

I believe these mice look a lot cuter from the front than from the angles photographed here. I like the dominant positioning of the cat who is beautifully photographed.

I'm suprised the cat didn't swat at them yet, camera must have been set to a high shutter speed ;-) Nice shot!

Creative idea. Your photograph has adequate sharpness, although it probably could have been sharpened a "whisker" more. There is quite a bit of noise on the cat's fur which may have been a technical limitation of your digital camera so I won't hold that against ya. Overall the cat does not appear interested in her visitors in the slightest, but they are quite finicky and don't follow directions very well haha. Overall a good effort.

Good idea with a clever title. The composition is good. Better lighting would really make this shot better. -5

nice

Lighting's a little bright, the mice got pretty washed out and the cat's not as deep black as it could be. Amusing shot though, with decent composition.

Interesting set up. Clever shift: interested mice and disinterested cat.

Did it occur to you to take the shot from behind the mice? They would e in the foreground, and the cat's face, dominant, in the background.

fun shot. would probably like a tighter or a wider crop though.
