Not a bad capture here Dimi, I do find it a little hard to make out some of the details though - I think the DOF is a little too shallow maybe. If you went for f/4 and 1/1000 or slower, I thnk there would be better sharpness and more detail?
Just a theory, since I haven't even attempted a shot like this!
Colours are very natural, placement in the frame is good.

Hello Dimi

I am also half lost like you in scientific names of these crabs and others derived of the sea.
But I see that you have a beautiful macro of him, mainly of their eyes and mouth.
Usually they hide them with their tweezers.
Beautiful shot and good compo!
Congratulations

Hello Dimi,

Detailed shot at the head with beautiful clear eyes and mouth. Maybe this one is lucky to be in your post :-)

Frighteningly good close-up of this horrid (in my opinion) creature.
You did a fine job allowing us to study how their face really looks like.
Great framing as well!

Hello Dimi

An excellent capture here, unusual and effective shot, yes the DOF is a touch shallow but I actually like the effect as the sooft focus behind makes the eyes seem all the sharper.

Nice work

TFS regards Helen
