I won't back down

Maybe this little crab was thinking of a Tom Petty song.

Canon G9 w/ fill flash

Edit:
I thought I'd add a bit more info to this shot. I was actually out looking for such an image and had the G9 along for this purpose as I wanted to get ground level and up close, so live view would be a real asset. This guy seemed up for the challenge and I had to provoke it a bit with a stick to get the pose I wanted.
Ah fun on the beach.

Good shot - good title!
Looks like a gunslinger to me.

gunslinger...lol I guess. In that case I shoulda gone with Tom Petty's "gunslinger" song. Either way it's Tom Petty.
