The beauty of the 300mm f/4 is it's very nice minimum focusing distance:

Hi Bob - cool image of this crab half buried in the sand. I like your selective focus, almost makes the subject appear to be floating!! The image looks a tad flat on my monitor, probably would give it some added contrast to make it pop!!

[Julie Kenward]

I agree with John. It's such an interesting image I'd love to see that crab "pop" just a bit more.

Cool image Bob, I really like how the body is at a 45 deg angle but the eyes are still vertical!

Cool stuff. I like the image as is, a little curves wouldnt hurt, but I would try one with the less foreground and more BG placing the crab a little lower.

Would just cut away about 2/3 of the oof foreground !!!! Will make crab bigger in frame !!!! Excellent image !!! Love the in your face !!!
