Fiddler crabs

[j-dogg]

These little guys happened to be on the river shore while I was waiting for a passenger train (very rare here) so I stood still long enough and actually had to back out of the far end of my telephoto range for a few of these. They respond to movement so you pretty much have to turn into a statue or move real slow.

I have a few of these at different F-stops, from wide open to F16 so I'll post a few but here's the first.

nice, but i feel like they are too small in the picture. Crop or move closer?

Crop, I couldn't get any closer to them, I'll do a couple edits.

what was your dof? IT looks very shallow
