They are so ugly but intriguing to look at. Nice close up detail and color rendering with the black background.

This almost looks like a wildlife painting. With the blackened background, one's eye is drawn to the details of this animal. It is a wonderful study piece from a number of angles-subjectively and technically. I know I'm late with this, but fabulously done!
