Ghost Crab

[Myer Bornstein]

I was out the other day with a friend of mine doing a beach ramble, and we found one of these little ghost crabs scurrying along. They are usually out at night and can grow very big, but this is a nice small one.
Nikon D3S, 300 mm F4 at F8, 1/252, ISO 400. I originally adjusted in light room and Photoshop then took the TIFF file and utilize Topaz simplify in a fine pencil sketch to come up with this camouflaged image.

Creative thinking to come up with this technique Myer, it's definitely camouflaged!

Myer, Very creative and interesting. I like the comp. w/ the crab coming out of the corner. Neat!:)

Thanks everyone, the crab was pale against the sand. on the orginal I boosted the contrast etc so it could be seen better. but needed to go back to get a image for this weeks theme :D

Cool image! Transparent is a perfect twist on the theme. :)

Good show Myer! I love the ghostly look and stark environment. Excellent OOTB thinking and execution.

Excellent image for the theme, Myer. I love the pale look and composition. Very well done.

Very nice, Myer! With this edit, it looks like you drew an outline of a crab and used the beach for its texture. They blend really well. :)
