Sally Lightfoot Crab, Galapagos Islands.

Nice! It almost seems hand colored because of the monochromatic nature of the elements of the composition other than the subject. I like this image quite a bit. Nice Job!

I like this picture a lot too. I've been playing around with my macro lately and know how hard it is to get an animal to stay still long enough to get a tight focused shot. The colors are great. The crab almost looks cooked from the bright red color.

Thank heavens for AF. Nice!

Great colors.

Just curious: Did you have to enhance the color digitally or did it come out like this from the lab (this is no critique, just wanna know how you did it). Actually I would be proud of this photo too.

Nope. I'm sure some colors were altered a tiny bit in the scan I did (1350 dpi Nikon LS-2000 negative filmstrip scan), but it's very close to what came back from the lab (Costco photo processing.) Thanks for the comment, btw.

 

-A.

Great image. I would have rated it higher if the subject had not been so centered.

very attractive photo. Colors display very well against background.

Good color.

Gotta agree with everyone else, this is one I'd be proud of, too. And I think sometimes you need to break the rules and go for centering your subject. Not often, but I think this was one of those times where it worked very well. (Of course, when the little devil won't sit still, it's not like you've got a lot of choice.) Congrats on a beautiful shot. I like this as much as any photo I've seen in the last month on photo.net. The contrast in the colors is what really do it for me here.

I like the color. I appreciate your explanation on the manner you took the photo
