After viewing Jay’s post, I had to play my “Trouble with Mice” image. This is my vision of a line from the book Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck. I have created several images for this story but this one speaks to me of Lennie by the Salinas River. Lennie’s love for soft things conspires against him, bacically because he does not know his own strength, and over time becomes his undoing. “Trouble with mice is you always kill’em.”  John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men.
Comment for Trouble with Mice

Eliot Crowley

Robert,

What a great shot. I love the attention to detail you are exhibiting. The texture of the coat and the frayed edges of the cuff and pocket along with the dirt under the fingernails gives a great suggestion that this man is really wearing his own coat and not something you rented. Your use of the colored light and the direction remind me of a candle lit room filled by the light of a fire off to one side. The composition is perfect. Keeping the button visible in the upper right hand corner is a wonderful repetition of the eyes of this mouse. And the choice of a brown mouse is of course, perfect, any other color would not fit the pallet nor the reality of a found mouse.

All I can say is WOW!
