 * Support I think this is a really good photo, I love the detail of the bristles (probably not the technical term!) on the crab, and that the drying seaweed is kept in focus showing its texture. Definitely meets the 8 criteria. He's a funny fellow isn't he? I think he's looking at us! TehGrauniad (talk) 14:40, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Neutral It's a good photo, fantastic detail on the crab, good pose, etc. But something's bugging me with the background. I think it's just that it's such an ugly colour, it's not stimulating my interest in the crab. Sorry, especially for having such a bad reason. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 10:51, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Support Good pose on the animal, good technicals, natural background. I can't ask for more. Cowtowner (talk) 17:21, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Oppose Great detail on the crab, however the background is, as Aaadddaaammm said, quite ugly and, I think, terribly distracting. The composition is not great either. Sorry :( Cdg123 (talk) 04:50, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose Less than ideal lighting. Makeemlighter (talk) 06:31, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
