How many of you people have seen a crawfish. It's a crawfish! The american symbol is cancer or lobster, but she's from sweden.

Hi Mona,
I like your composition and close cropping of the crawfish.
The color contrast is also very nice.
I personally would of liked a bit more focus/clarity on the head...perhaps shooting more from an upward angle.
Glad you participated in the challenge. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

I believe that looks more like a lobster than a crab.

I know you'll have got this a lot, but isn't that a lobster, not a crab...? Good shot anyway, and it's at least fairly crabby... :)

This is the first high quality shot I've seen so far.

Besides that - good macro work and I wish the ice was a little less exposed lower left corner.

He/she looks sad, with those drooping eyes. I like this one. 8

Good choice to opt for close up - filling the frame can certainly add more interest to an everyday subject.

I like the little bit of ive on the mouth parts, I wish it were sharper on the top of the shell. Perhaps you could include a bit more of this interesting looking creature - the legs seem so cut-off.

is this a lobster? Regardless, I like the angle & composition. I also changed your score, bumped it up to an 8!

Top of the crawfish's seems out of focus. Interesting subject matter. Not too crazy about that thin red line in the border: loses its intensity along quite a few spots around the edge of the image.. Plain black would have been better.

Looks more like a lobster than a crab, but they're all shellfish. I might have tried a tighter crop on the eyes. The top of the head seems out of focus.

This is a shrimp, not a grab.

This looks like a lobster not a crab? I like the photo though... although I would have liked to have seen a little more definition to the ice underneath, especially on the left side.

This is about to get eaten isn't he?

The eyes are sharp and in focus, thats important. You also seem to have got good texture expression

A lobster is not the same as a crab ....
01/28/2004 01:06:43 AM
Isn't cancer the crab? This appears to be a lobster.
01/28/2004 12:14:00 AM
