I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve by cropping out the claws on the left and right side of the pic.

Good arrangement, good lighting, perhaps a wider zoom or a step back, you crowded the edges a bit.

This is very impressive. I only wish you had adjusted the setup to not show the red lining - it distracts my eye.
