    Crabs and a flower

    Here are some more shots I took while in Gulf Shores (I had also taken a few sunset shots that I posted in the Loney Herring thread). This crab was funny to watch, and was very protective. He was about 8" wide or so.

    I really like these!
    The flowers at the end have such a popping color to them.

    Thanks Heather! Yeah, we saw thousands of them, but they were all about 1 or 2 inches long, and this grand daddy came out of the sand. I definitely watched where I stepped from then on .

    May I ask what lens did you use to capture those photos? They are pretty sharp

    It was my Canon 75-300mm F/4-5.6 USM lens. Seems to be a decent lens for the money as long as you have good light (such as a bright sunny day at the beach).

    Too bad about the wilting top flower in your flower shot. I love the little crab guy though!

    Yeah, that was about the only flower I saw, and I liked the colors. Maybe if I were really skilled with Photoshop, I could bring that flower back to life!

    Thanks for the comments!

    I don't care for the flower shot — just not my thing, unfortunately, though I think it's technically quite well done. Filling the frame a bit more might have improved it.

    I love the crab shots, although the second one looks a bit under-exposed. The detail in them is great, you isolated the subject brilliantly and filled the frame. And you managed to make a crab look cute :s
