Cool!
Your photo of this small Crustacean makes for an interesting and pleasantly Out of the Ordinary picture,my friend!
The intentionally blurry background adds to the atmosphere of the scene!
'Good Show'! : )

    I love photographing ghost crabs,generally the highlight of my vacation. They are exceptionally fast,usually takes both of us to run one down in an attempt to keep it from reaching it?s burrow or making a dash for the surf. Occasionally you can come across one that tends to ignore you,such as this one.Which I greatly appreciated since I had to lay prone on the sand to get the waves in the background!

This is a superb shot of the ghost crab. Excellent focus and clarity!. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort! Good luck!

I love this! This little crab is actually kind of cute! I love it's position in the frame and love the blurred background, the crab is clear to view and well focused, shows good detail throughout, is well exposed , the colors and tones appear natural, very well composed and presented, a pleasure to view! Best wishes to you in the contest!
