OK, admittedly I don't get the fear aspect of the shot -- but it feels like it could work so I'm not going to lower my score for that reason. What bothers me is how over-exposed this is. I wouldn't mind so much if the background stayed the same, but it seems like the crabs and their shadows need to be darker to pull this off. I like the composition and the negative space.
very good composition. i like the crabs being off-centered. nice background, too. nothing wich would distract. IMHO also nit overexposured. i like it in this case.
This would have been absolutely GREAT, if only the brightness was down about 4 notches. (Did you "set this up"?) I really wish I could give you better than a 6, but that's it. Swash
Kind of washed out (although you may have wanted that, it didn't work for me). I like the grain of the background and wish more detail was there. I think the shadows threw off your cameras meter. If it has an option for 'spot metering', you might want to experiment with it.
I assume the overexposure is purposeful, and though I would like it to be less so (just so the details on the crabs were a little more distinguishable), it does have an interesting effect. Almost dream-like or surreal. I like the shadow created as well. So are you saying that you are scared of crabs, or is one of them you -- metaphorically speaking? karmat
