Get out of my face

This was taken on the beach at Anasco, Puerto Rico. I was up much earlier then everyone else. I went down to the beach with my camera and found this crab. He didn't know exactly what to do with me when I got in his face. Nice early morning light, but no techs recorded.

You do get the feeling that you are in its face and not that he is on yours.I ran into one of these awhile back but did not come up with anything near this good.

I really like these little guys. I've tried many times for a shot like this, without success. Good job.

I like the way he's centered and yet at an angle. Very well done indeed, especially considering that you probably had to work quickly--I guess these guys can beat it out of there in a hurry if they feel threatened.

This made me chuckle because it looks like it was getting "crabby" having you in its face!
