Excellent clarity, color, details, and you managed the exposure in expert fashion Ray.

I especially like the crab 'bobbling' action, it makes this one a standout! devil

Sweet action and a really nice setting showing the habitat well here Ray, I might clone out the grayish/white spot to the right of the bird's breast. Sweet shot! devil
