boegheim, these remiond me of "the jaws of life". Nice lighting technique and very effective orientation of your subject. The color contrast and interesting shape really grab my attention. MFC

katherine, Thanks for the suggestion, I did upload it again... hope it stays here this time.... (Pbase can be a bit unpredictable)

Sonny, I did use a kind of softbox effect,
I put the object on a glas table and light it from below. I used some white paper to get detail on the top (reflecting the light back on the subject)

That is one big bite! I also like the simplicity of this idea. Did you use a softbox for this to avoid the shadow? Well done!

Boegheim, the original size of this picture is not working, I can only see the small and medium. It's been that way since last night, although earlier I could view the original. You may need to re-upload it.

Very cool macro - I love the composition and lighting of these "jaws"!
