Love this Balan, the narrow plane of focus, head-on view of the crab, what looks like footprints coming in from the left, it all works for me. My only suggestion would be trying a bit more of a panoramic view, as all the interested stuff runs on a thin line through the frame. Very well done!

I just looked at it again, and I think it's best the way it is actually!

I think it might be a ghost crab Balan. Nice choice of DOF to isolate this little crab.

I like this as presented, Balan. I would experiment a bit, just for fun, with a pano and the crab centered, for a different feeling.
