The light and shadows are excellent on this one Ronald. At first it took a while to see the tiny crab, and it really messed with the overall consistency of the image. I get it now. Once you see the tiny crab, its an AHA! moment. I love that you can backtrack and follow where it came from. Great job to see and save this.

Ronald: What a nice find. I love the light and shadow play and the path of the crab. I’m surprised it hasn’t become lunch for a gull. On the Oregon coast where I’m more familiar exposed morsels like this don’t last long. Good capture of a unique moment. >=))>

Ron, finding the crab here is good fun, as is seeing it’s tracks. The strongly angled light makes a great pattern out of the sand ripples. That is one tiny crab, with a Daleks shadow (if you remember that very early computer game…).
