Ghost crab and shadow

I really like this photo. It reminds me of going to the beach when I was a child and playing with the crabs. I like that you can see the bumps and "hairs" on the crab. It would be nice if there was even sharper focus. I like that the shadow seems even bigger than the crab.

A fun entry for the shadow contest. The crab is placed well in the frame to allow us to see the full shadow. Good focus on his beady little eyes. Best in luck in the contest. Definitely high on the unique scale.

Very good entry for the contest. Excellent capture of the Ghost Crab and its shadow in the bright sunlight. I like the angle you used for this. Very good lighting and focus. Great composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

This is an awesome picture.. Not only does this little guy have wonderfully bright color but his shadow says that he is not all alone!! Great shot. Couldn't have asked for a better one! Very foscused and clear. Love it!!

I can't believe how cute I think this guy is - I think I might have said that before, lol! I'm not generally fond of creatures with legs that look like these :) I like how you captured his shadow, so much larger than life. It's very cute, and I like how nicely his colors are accentuated by the lighting.

Cool!
That's a pleasantly unusual type of a creature and your photograph of it standing on the sand with it's shadow stretching out in front of it looks Great!
'Good Show',my friend!

Perfect entry for the contest! Very interesting subject, very well photographed with good focus, the image is clear, I see good detail in this little crab, he looks like a little toy on the beach, I love his long shadow too! Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you!
