Now that I know this was yours, I feel bad about giving you a 4. I guess there is a good reason that voting is anonymous. At least I left you feedback to tell you why!

It's not a bad shot, something I'd hang up in the bathroom for sure. No horses for this challenge?

Comment by Teafran:
Model set piece imagery is always difficult to evaluate because there is so much to look at. In this case, it might have been a better idea to include the whole image as sharp as possible to increase the sense of depth and dimension to the image - the DOF technigue used here leaves the image rather flat and undetailed which seems opposite of the modeling image genre which would be to reproduce, as accurately as possible, a moment in time. A longer look would have been more appropriate to gain maximum impact from a dramatic and interesting scene.

Incredible detail in this model (?). Wonderful lighting. Perhaps less back lighting on the flag so that the symbol is clearer.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I'd have to agree with earlier comments regarding the blurriness. Tough situation though. You could go with a higher shutter speed and get this fella sharp. But then it wouldn't show motion. If you went with an even longer shutter speed he would no longer be recognizable as a crab. Perhaps not the best choice of subject for this challenge. Then again maybe there are ways of shooting it? Perhaps a slow shutter speed with flash right at that end of the exposure. (Is that rear curtain sync or front curtain sync? I can never remember). He'd have the blur to show his movement, but you'd have him frozen in the end to get the detail. Not exactly sure how to set the camera up to do that though. (Heck, I don't know if MY camera can do that I've pretty much memorized the manual).

Comment by Abstract:
absolutely fantastic.
if voters do not punish you for not keeping the camera at the street/surface level, this could place high.
