Description
Taken on Nokomis Beach, Florida, during one of my early morning beach walks.
I liked the eye contact and symmetrical claw stance, which gives it a surprising amount of personality – almost a portrait.
Specific Feedback
I wanted to include the whiskers, but that is not the most pleasing composition. In the end, I did include them…
What do you think?

Oh, you have to have the whiskers. What a great find. Wish I could see something like that. Detail on the crab is good, but maybe brightening it up a little would bring them out more and draw more focus on the crab. It looks like there is a bit of noise in the image. Have you tried to use denoise on it?

Nicely captured details in the hermit crab. I would try to remove some of the cyan cast to the entire image and do a curves adjustment to bring up the contrast as the crab needs to pop out ogf the shadows from the shell. A very nice capture…Jim

Pieter: Surely a face only a mother could love. And I agree with @Chris_Baird regarding the whiskers. Opening the shadows on the crab is about the only thing that would help this but it works for me as is. Nice find and a fine POV and capture. >=))>
