    Great defensive tactic or futal attempt at surviving? needless to say this was a temporary situation.
    Wish I could have been lower but embankment and rules prohibit being lower at this location.

    Thanks for looking.

    You probably had your shorts on, jump off the bridge into the water to get that lower POV. The crab puts this one on the special list, great find Tim

    The Ruddy fell into his trap! The crab had it all worked out up until the point where he was unfortunately dismembered and eaten. Nice interaction captured.

    As much as I love ultra low POV shots, the prey item means its not so important here. Lovely timing, and a great interaction frame
