Very neat low POV capture with a Sand Crab for breakfast. Like the strewn pieces of seaweed. Extremely good early morning light also, John.

EXP is perfection with great detail in all shades. Love the low POV and the pose with prey as well. TFS

ps That ocean/waves BG...

I would run some NR on the background, well exposed, nice POV.

classic OC shot, I like the low angle and details plus the small food item

John:

I like it for all the reasons mentioned, POV, exposure, food item, green vegetation . I am seeing a little bit of noise in the background, easy clean up. Well captured.!

Cheers

Super shot John, I like the food item and the raised foot.

Hi John ... lovely low POV shot . The food provided a good behavior shot ... really like this .
Color and tones are looking quite nice , specially the algae's breaking the sand uniformity !!!
Might reduce the blue / cyan component in the sandy areas .
