Creative use of source...GL author.

Thanks, I have more sbs to upload but the pxleyes server isn't responding on my iMac. Im responding via iPhone, so I'll put the rest up when i can.

I'm glad you came to this meeting. Thanks, I'll have mine on rye. LOL!!

they would munch him .. wouldn't they LOL

Oh my! I love it! And last night I was dreaming about crabs!

Thanks

Fun image ... the legs could use a little bit of shading so they don't appear so flat. You can do it by selecting the image then create an levels adjustment layer that will have the legs as a mask, then you can adjust the Levels to darken the image and "paint" down the center of the legs mask to reduce/remove the darkening from that part of the legs. Leaving the darkened edges.

It is a very fun image! Clever idea but poor crab!

Thanks Arca for your great suggestion.. I did some modifiation as you said and changed the colour also.

Looking good ...I really like the new colour and the shading is definitely better!

That crab is beautiful..Nice one author. GL

hehehehe........selamat ya.......suhu

Nicely done!.... very good execution.

superb .........

Could use more texture, but very nice work.

Well crafted crab.Very detailed,successful construction.And its a little shame,that You put Your crab on very uninteresting,dark background.If You take a look on the image,You see,that even though crab is well shadowed,compositon looks flat,chaotic and crab floating.You should try some kind of glossy,icy background(even with cracks) and nice crab ground shadows or reflections,because only this way,You can create pretty cool 3D illusion,which boost whole image to the different level.Try,if not for contest purposes,just do it for Yourself.It is worthy,because thats beautiful crab.Good luck

hahaha thanks jaskier
