    And all the time I was watching him, I thought he was watching me. It turns out he was keeping his eye on a passing crab to grab. Appreciate any comments.

    Thanks Artie! I have Color Efex but did not think it needed it. I now see that I was wrong. Re-post is killer. Thanks again, and oh that was very fast processing.

    Very nice shot. I really like the crab, great pose, and the repost is much better.
    Well done.
