This shot was set up on the kitchen table. I cut some grasses from the garden pond and placed them in a narrow vase. I added a piece of black card behind for a dark background and set up the flash on a stand just off to the right of the camera. I then got the pet mouse and placed him on the reeds and waited while he crawled around before getting this shot. Lens used - Canon 17-40 f/4L.
