Sally Lightfoot Crab, Galapagos. January 19, 2008.

In my humble opinion, if you want to see what Eden must have been like, go to the Galapagos --- The only place on earth where you can be in complete harmony with all living things (except your spouse? But that would still be quite consistent with Eden, would it not?).

Lovely colors and good DOF for this subject. Going to the Galapagos in May... 10 things to do before I die.

A spectacular place for sure.Nice angle on this SL crab.
The dark area at the bottom detract a bit here, but could be lightened if you wished to.

Kumar, I love the contrast of the incredible colors of the crab on the dark grey rock. Also the unusual perspective showing the circular arrangement of all those legs is very appealing. The detail in the larger version is excellent.

Very nice. Love the low angle and the colors. Nice contrast against the background too.
