Critique Style Requested: Standard

Description
There is a Soldier Crab population on the Coochiemudlo island inter-tidal zone. They are on average the size of a person’s thumb nail. The biggest difference from other crabs is they walk forward, not sideways. Millions of them emerge from the sand as the tide recedes. They feed on detritus and construct balls of the cleaned sand.
Specific Feedback
I am not sure here. These are the two photos that topped the list of the second day I was there. I intend going there next week when the tides are receding early morning for a third photo shoot (only a short distance from home). Ideas to improve composition or processing would be welcome. This photo was taken when clouds obscured the sun. I am considering a smaller aperture to achieve an increased depth of field
Technical Details
Canon 90D, 120 - 400mm Sigma lens (eq 600mm) ISO 1600, F16 , hand held (which is why I used crazy ISO to achieve a very fast shutter speed for a sharp image).
