OK, I confess the main reason I am posting this images is because I love the name of this tasty crustacean...Cherax destructor
Just spent two weeks in a very remote part of Australia, very arid lands but with a clean and unpolluted river channel running through it's heart. The river is brimming with what we call Yabbies here, a type of freshwater Lobster { Crawdads in the USA I think } and caught bucket loads of them every day, some up to 12inches in length........so very delicious with a cold beer.....or two.
The general colour is olive blue/green, but this one was extra blue and worthy of a shot before consuming.
Nikon D300 + Tamron 28/75.....28mm, f13, 1/50, f13, ISO 200 + 0.7EV, hand held spur of the moment shot in bright sunshine....basic edit, crop, sharpen, contrast
