Cute. It's a little grainy from where I sit, perhaps that's the compression though.

Spontaneous; not staged like many here. Great shot.

Thanks John for the critique & 10. I appriciate all the comments from all you folks. It was a fun shot, as soon as my daughter brought the crayfish to me it said "orange" It was quite dead, winter kill I assume. I just set it on a wooden fishing pier and started shooting it at different angles in natural sunlight. Van

Hi Vtruan :)

This is a phenomenal photograph. I gave it a 10. Unfortunately, you probably suffered from the 'not enough orange in my face' syndrome in the challenge. The detail, tone, and overall aesthetics of this photo are just great.

Great work as usual :)

I like the iridescent colors. Nice shot. Must have been a bit tricky to get.

Hi Vtruan...

This is a nicely executed black and white. The choice for black and white really brings out the texture and shape in this subject. I think most of the comments you have received here about sum it up though.. For a 'Horticulture' magazine cover, I struggle with the concept of black and white. For a fine art magazine of some sort, this shot works nicely :) Some of the absolute best flower photos I have ever seen have been done in black and white. I think you simply introduced an opportunity for critique with the combination of the photo and the title.

Keep up the great work :)
