Great! I love the tonality, colors and mood. This crunching warrior …an emerging beauty… of a extinct beast. Well done!

Very nice photo of Dungeness crab which I say is the king of all crab when it comes to great taste!

nice job on the details and repeating elements. It almost looks like the "Predator" is buried in the ice, staring back at you :).

Definitely looks like a predator face looking out from the ice. Cool image!

Amazing John - love the textures and colour palette. There's a certain feel here (sci-fi warrior?), and it's quite successful. :cool:
