"Look Left, Look Right..."

This guy popped up whenever the waves subsided, then when I walked

up, it ran back into its hole. Had to play dead for a while before I

get this. Feedback?

Hi, I had never seen a crab photo on PN before, odd, I just posted one tonight. I don't like the selctive blurring as it does'nt seem to match what I expect to see on blurring due to aperature/DOF.

 

I like the back lighting and the shadows and you have pretty good detail, the shadows add depth. I'd like to see it without the blurring. If you get a moment, comment on mine! Thanks~md

This is a fun photograph.

It's amazing what you get out of the A80, as I've said before. I find the blurred foreground a little distracting. Otherwise, nice one with interesting lighting and good detail of the subject.

Great lighting and detail. The bit of blur on the right and bottom bothers me a bit, but it's minor.

I'm with the others on this, wonderful light on a rarer subject( well, rare for this sight, anyway), but the DOF problems are, eh, a problem. Why are people constantly surprised by what a compact can do? Esp. with macro shots. More money than sense?

Excellent light and contrasts in a picture that, surprisingly, is best appreciated as thumbnail than as full version. Beautiful colors you've got here. Regards, Sigfrid.

Cute!! :-)

Love the eyes! Makes me think of the guy in "Finding Nemo" LOL. I also don't care for the vignetted blur. Maybe if it was just a tad sharper and the feathering a little larger it would blend better and be less distracting. Just thinking out loud! LOL

 

Thank you ladies and gents for your feedback. Appreciate them. I was trying to mimic a shallow DOF, but I guess it wasn't that convincing. May be I'll just repose the original sharp version for comparison sake. Thanks again, folks. ^_^
