Thanks John for the critique & 10. I appriciate all the comments from all you folks. It was a fun shot, as soon as my daughter brought the crayfish to me it said "orange" It was quite dead, winter kill I assume. I just set it on a wooden fishing pier and started shooting it at different angles in natural sunlight. Van

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Vtruan :)

This is a phenomenal photograph. I gave it a 10. Unfortunately, you probably suffered from the 'not enough orange in my face' syndrome in the challenge. The detail, tone, and overall aesthetics of this photo are just great.

Great work as usual :)

This is a wonderful photograph. With any justice, it should have placed much higher in the Challenge. (I'm one of your tens)
