I love the single claw and the statement it makes as sort of an "alien" type prehistoric being, but to me it is still slightly out of focus.The lighting and composition is excellent I hope this is helpful.


Just came across this comment. You are absolutely right and very helpful. Thanks a bunch.

A very effective photograph of some nasty looking textures. Good composition and depth of field. 7

Several great textures represented here! Nicely composed. Good technical capture. Great job.

I like the composition, but the focus seems a little soft.

fits the topic well but I don't see sharp focus anywhere in this, perhaps from a bit of camera shake, or maybe it is a very small part cropped from a larger image

What a great idea. I like the angle and the lighting. I think the blurriness detracts a little, though, from the texture.

Not focused enough.

This would be much stronger entry if it was focused.

Love the composition and tones but it appears too blurry, the front of the shot is sharpest but still blurred.. shame
