 Created a page of binary numbers with Word. Printed it on a piece of overhead transparency film. Taped it to a piece of glass. Stood the glass on end and shot the mouse through the glass.

Post-challenge comments:
Thanks everyone. This image did better than I thought it would.

Some voters took a while to figure out it was a mouse. The mouse was just a prop and not intended to be the subject. The subject was binary, not source code. Anyone can use a mouse, but not anyone can read and write in binary.

I agree with juliboc that this was underrated. Thought it would finish above 6.5 and possibly in top 10. One of most creative entries in challenge, and great composition.

I thought this was terrific and I gave it a 9. Sorry the rest of the voters didn't appreciate it as much.

Might have workede better with lines of source code, rather than just a stream of binary.

I really enjoy this image. Very nicely done. Maybe just a touch more contrast on the mouse, but very nice all the same.

I think this would be much more effective it the binary were not so prominent. It overpowers this photo and caused me to struggle to figure out that there is a mouse in this shot.

Sorry, this just doesn't work for me. The 1's and 0's would have to be totally aligned and very sharp to make it work.

creative

This picture would have been better if the binary was more transparent. I had to concentrate to realize it was a mouse (maybe my brain not working).

This is not good. Maybe if the binary would be in the background somehow. But it is just crowded and distracting. Sorry for the low grade but that is how it goes. The photo is just not good.

I like this. I mean, being a programmer is never going to net you the most exciting of images, so I like what you've done with this shot.
