 This purple lobster is huge. I can't do him justice. They base the age off of their weight. He weighs at least 30 lbs. They estimate age to be between 7-10 years per pound.

Nice bokeh and colors. More sharpness would have been good IMO.

That's fantastic. How long do they live? (If not eaten) The colours are terrific.

Cool subject and colours - must have been difficult to get this shot (unless it's in a tank!). I would have gone for a wider crop to get more of the crab in.

That's one colorful, crusty old crustacean. Wonder what he would taste like?
