 In many of the valleys I often hike in Jordan, fresh water crabs are easily noticed along side the running creeks. At times, some of them show defiance when we try to walk passing them, while others make a run for it; this six inches crab really stood up for us, especially when he saw the black body Canon XTI400 approaching as he was crabbing to the left; this is the first time I notice that crabs left up three legs at once when they move; as apparent by the shadows not touching with the tips of the left side legs' assembly.
I removed the background, a gray-brown rock, to make the shadows look stronger and because the rock color was so close to that of the crab thus weakening the contrast.
I hope people will like. 6.5911 should be ok LOOOL.

Great pose. Shadow is fabulous but the crab looks a little washed out on my monitor.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.

Like the shadow. 6
