From critique club.

This image looked like a disappointment to me, I gave it just 3 :-(((

Having read the author's comment I realize that this shot is a technical curiosity rather than just a crab and would probably give it more credits after all. But still, I have a problem with the composition (why crab is cropped? I don't argue with the off-center displacement!) and the idea (what does this all mean?). Technically, I would experiment with some colored lighs and made more of the vase texture visible around.

I like this photo, but not really too sure about it....the hue is kinda strange, but it is interesting enough to catch my eye

Nice enough image but don't like the inversion.

EDIT: I understand from our PMs that this isn't an inversion but a glass paperweight! Thanks for letting me know. Visually it looks like a negative - I guess that's what I don't like. What I do like is the texture around the edge.
