I think this photograph is already one of my favourites in your gallery. Not only does this follow your brilliant technique and style you display in all your photographs but you've captured a very lucky snap! I know I try hard to capture special photographs of my animals but it is rare to find ones with action and I think you've done very well to capture this one.
Originality:
I agree that taking photographs of pets isn't the most original thing in the world, but something about your photographs are so different from everyone else's, and I really love it.
Technique:
Whenever I look at your photographs I feel like you really do a brilliant and professional job on them all. From the focus to the backdrop, your photos are full of colour and interest, and unusually, your backgrounds are bright but they don't take the focus away from the model, which is what I see all too often on other artwork. Just as people have a style of drawing, I really love your photographic style.
Impact:
Overall, as I've said, this is probably my favourite picture. It has a great impact with lots of colour, cute appeal, and it really makes the pet rat seem much more playful and intelligent than some people might like to believe.
I think your photographs are brilliant and your style is so unique, and as someone said before, you really bring out the best in your rats, there are photos of rats solo, and there are group photographs which are always harder to take! Some people might not want to believe that rats are intelligent and loving, which I believe they are, but you certainly prove a good case with all your wonderful rat photographs. I'd love to see some photos of any other pets you might have, too!
Unfortunately when most people think of "cute, fun pets," rats are not what they think of. Even for those of us who know what great pets they can be, we usually tend to focus on their more studious aspects, such as their intelligence and level headedness. So unlike, say, a ferret, rats are often treated as serious pets. That's why I love that you've chosen to photograph your rats in such a playful and fun manner. You're showing these animals in a way they're not usually shown in, and that's great vision.
ORIGINALITY
Okay, so pet photographs definitely aren't the most original thing, but somehow you've still pulled off this photo in a way that feels very original and fresh to me. Your awesome choice of presentation, with the green backdrop and white framing, is a large component to that. Capturing the rat in the middle of this unique pose is also a major factor. It's not your standard issue, stereotypical pet magazine rat pose.
TECHNIQUE
From the technical standpoint, you clearly know what you're doing, but a few things bother me about the execution. I wish the focus here was just a bit broader. I think it's a shame that the focus isn't clearer on his paws, since I feel it would really up the cuteness factor if we could more clearly see those adorable tiny paws.
IMPACT
Who could resist a photo like this? Anyone would be hard pressed to beat the impact of cute baby animals and bright colours combined! This is an all around very charming image and I hope it will help to change some minds about rats by showing people what cute pets they can be.
