    This willet had no interest in the crab and just walked right over it.

    Joe:

    I think this is really fun, lots of interesting title options. Bird is sharp and well exposed. Might try to sharpen the face of crab a bit more. Good shooting angle.

    I like the comp.

    FUN!

    Cheers

    WOW, what a wonderful image, full of smiles. Well executed...love the touch of color that the crab lends to the image. I'd sharpen him up a bit more , especially since he's an integral part of the image. A new favorite of yours, Joe.

    Hi Joe, I can understand why the willet was simply ignoring the crab, how on earth was he going to manage to eat it. Good low angle, and the willet's foot on the crab adds a nice touch. Yes to a touch of sharpening on the crab.

    Awesome opportunity!! Too bad the crab isn't as sharp as the willet, but these events are not always planned and timed in a way to allow for quick settings adjustments. Very entertaining image overall, love the foot-on-crab pose

    Love it! Agree with Randy on all counts. I would definitely try to sharpen the crab face. Brought a smile to my face,

    This is a special image Joe. The bird is super sharp, I do hope that you can sharpen the crab more and even boost sat on the crab just a tiny bit. I also would love to see the next frame.
