Technicolour Dreamshell

by Dave

While crawling through the mud chasing crabs my girlfriend amusedly looked on, high and dry, from a near by boardwalk. Crawling past her was this living jewel that she casually called me to check out. Thanks hon.

Equipment: Canon 30D, 100mm Canon Macro lens

Wow, amazing colors on that beetle. Maybe DOF could have been a bit larger.
