I desperately wanted a mouse to climb up and then stand up, might have to dangle a nut above the branch. :) I think the branch is a bit too dominant, but like the scale of the mouse... opinions please. :biggrin:

I think I agree Neil - maybe too much moss. Tighter crop might help.
To get them to stand up I used to dangle a bit of Wensleydale on some cotton just out of shot. Works every time :biggrin: :biggrin: ( Seriously ! )

I also agree that the branch is too much and the mouse needs to be higher. Perhaps remove some of the stuff on the top of the branch to reduce obstructions? Looking forward to a tall mouse!

They are obviously fussy mice in John's part of the world - or do they just watch too much Wallace & Gromit? Nits covered, otherwise a fine shot.

Loved the series, Neil. Agree with what's already been said and looking forward to a mouse standing tall.

I agree the branch is a bit dominant, but still a lovely shot of this cute little animal. :wavey:
