Probably a better version of a previously 'rushed' posting of the 'Sally Lightfoot' crab. Somehow ferreting around the rock pools and shore line of the UK will not be the same. They are just great to watch filtering the tiny particles of food.

Great shot! Amazing colours, I like the way he's slightly obsured - looks like he's peeping out at you, and adds depth to the image.

Hello Stephen.
Love the colour and detail in this, and the setting is fine for me.

Very vibrant looking image

I agree with Dawn - I like the impression that the crab's coming out from behind a rock. You wouldn't get that if it was totaly out in the open. Lovely colours too.

Been there, photographed that - and didn't come away with anything remotely as good as this superb shot. The low angle works very well here.
