Aquarium at kew gardens. Not a very easy shot to make, as the light was rubbish and the glass was scratched. EnjoyRelated content

This is a very cool shot! I love the blue textured background (Im asuming these are scratches? ) Its hard to photograph through a tank but this is really nice. The reflectiuon of the crab is cool too. Its a rainbow crab isnt it? Very funky anyway

thank you i think it must be a rainbow crab
shootin through the tank was a real pain, especially when the light was so low.

despite the difficulties you faced, the outcome is amazing. i love the dark blue in the background, the texture and depth make for a perfect backdrop for the red crab.

hai-yah! (that's supposed to be the "karate-chop" sound, not "hiya") he looks like he's about ready to go kungfu on somebody's ass.

That's a really nice shot! I like the other one too because it has some greens in it.
Green red blue, I would suggest some contrast as well too bring out shadow...great job

Neat. Not perfectly sharp but given the circumstances it's a great pic. The colours are awesome and the scratched glass in the background gives the whole scenery quite a surreal atmosphere. Nice reflection too!

Excellent Colours. Kew gardens? Is that in Australia? The red of the crab looks fantastic with the blue of the water. I love it. It's almost like he's looking at you saying "What?"

lives in a submerged state but sometimes surfaces to come on land
terrifyingly soft on the inside and glad of the shell that protects

consider him an easy subject to photograph, if only everything you tried to shoot was that cooperative.
