 Due to the fact this guy kept trying to run away I had to shoot through glass.

Illuminated w/ a flashlight and camera set to adjust the white balance automatically.

Very little post processing these are the natural colours.

Wow. The clarity and composition of this image really grab the viewer. The lines of the legs lead the eye to the head, which is nicely framed by the shell. Great photo.

Very nice. Lovely colours and nice shading. Beautifully clear shot. Could be perhaps a tad brighter.

Cool closeup of a crab. Beautiful colors help to bring it alive. The way it's lit really makes it seem like your underwater with it.

Don't like the color of the frame. It kind of distracts from the subject.

Very cool! I wish there had been a bit more light, though. The colors are great, and I think it would have brought them even more.

I might have played more with the lighting. Also, a different boarder would have blended less with the background. Cute fella.

The composition really enhances the effect of the crab peering out at the world timidly.Nice colors, lighting good - I like the way the eyes are frames againtst the darkness under the shell. Focus seems a bit soft, but I find I'm saying that lot - maybe I need new glasses. Do wish the frame didn't disappear into the background on the left. Darker color?
