Comment by Quadrajet:
IMHO, using a flash could be considered "painting with light" but in this case it's simply an on camera flash...which doesn't really constitute anything particularly inventive or interesting.

That being said, this shot is entirely too underexposed, the skier barely stands out against the black sky.

Not only does this not meet the challenge, the image is poorly done. I'm sorry but I have to give this shot a 1 for meeting the challenge, a 1 for artistic merit and a 1 for technique.

In this particular instance 1+1+1=1.

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.

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

I think you put this in the wrong category...shouldn't it have been in the signs revisited?

Isn't cancer the crab? This appears to be a lobster.
