I kept trying to get one of these crabs with a wonderful background. I did not get what I had envisioned attempting. This is one of the better ones from this island.

Steve, The colors on the Sally lightfoots is truly amazing!!! Getting a shot of them on a clear BG is undoubtedly impossible. I like this one lots!!!

It looks like she is dancing. My only nits are the hot areas in the BG.

Amazing colours! a little more DOF to make the subject sharper would be nice but I appreciate you were trying to lose the BG!
