amazing shot considering how skittish these guys (and all crabs) are. They don’t let you get anywhere near them.

WOW! Incredible creature–the colors are vivid and exquisite! Excellent, exceptional, and impressive photograph of a truly amazing creature–this critter was born to be captured in just this way!

Very nice colors. Cool crab.

I have taken some nice pictures of the tiny crabs that live in the estuary not far away from where I live. They are tiny, less than the size of your thumbnail but very hardy. Some are also transparent but none have the colors of these guys. This one looks as if he stood there and posed for you.
