Soldier Crab (Closeup)

[deadsimple (Ash)]

During a visit to Hervey Bay a couple of months ago, I took a close-up of a soldier crab that my friend picked up.

Was amazed at the captured detail! Taken on a 450D @ (250mm,f/5.6,ISO200). Deconvolution and bicubic down-sizing applied.

Enjoy.

Crystal clear shot and a cute little crab.

The spider looks pretty good too, nice portrait.

Excellent image with good detail and clarity, makes for a good subject.

First shot of a soldier crab I've seen here on the forum.

Well done

Hi David. It's been disabled for 3 reasons:
1. So people with slow connections don't get embedded 1mb images
2. So people can choose whether to click on an image to load it
3. So large embedded images don't break the layout of the site.

Cheers
