What makes this for me is the golden light, low angle, head and wing position. It's a photo and not reality, but it comes close Grace!

Mazel tov on 5K. Beautiful light and nice crab. Perfect EXP, SH, and head angle. The near-wing position is less than ideal....

First of all, huge congratulations on this milestone, Grace. I have admired your images for years and the meticulous time you obvious take to capture them. Additionally, your comments and critiques have always been thoughtful and helpful. Thank you for taking the time.
This image is one of my favorites of your collection without a doubt. The light and action is over the top. Your patience paid off here b/c you were able to capture the height of the action. You may wish to consider a bit of burning on the legs just to bring their brightness down a tad. My eyes are drawn to the legs, and I think darkening them a tad will immediately bring attention to the action/story.
Looking forward to the next 5,000.!
