Emperor Scorpion

I have a few criticisms of this pic:

1. It might have been nicer to get a shot of the animal in an environment at least similar to its natural habitat - this seems to be a table or floor.
2. The lighting is very harsh - clearly a lam,p held quite close to the subject.
3. I'm not keen on the thick border (this is more of a personal thing than a photography critique).

Having said that you've brought out the texture on the shell very well indeed.

Perhaps sepia wasn't the best choice here - the top end of the photo feels too 'whited-out' to me. Nice choice to shoot over the wire though, the fence adds a nice line to the shot.

Extremely staged, something which I am not keen on...

i'm not one of the more prudish charaters on this site but even I feel there was no real need to swear here. It's not affecting your mark from me but I think others might take it into account...

Lovely photo. Very atmospsheric. Love the single light source - casts beautiful effects over the rest of the pic. 8.

I really hope that Stars and Striped wasn't sneaked in there deliberately. I'm beginning to get really sick of seeing it here on DPC...

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt this time ;) 7.

Border detracts a little from this - a little too thick. 6.

This pic could really have done with being pulled out to a larger set of dimensions.
