Hairy crab
Pilumna hirtellus, immature (~3cm carapace width)

40D, Tamron 90mm, 1/100@f8, ISO640, HH.

Taken at the coast on Friday afternoon, didn't really go for macro, but couldn't resist this fella. Although my favourite pose from the pics I took, it's not sharp! Comments welcome on other aspects.

good shot Greg, we don't see many crab shots on UKNP :smile: Very good eye contact and nice complementary colours. It's got a great facial expression as well :smile:

Not easy to judge the level of Sharpness at web size...

Nice one Greg and something not often seen on here, I too would have prefered some more DoF for the chelae, but looking at the techs can see that would not have been easy to achieve if at all...
