Hi Selen

What i fisrt saw this photo i thought you were just about 1 meter from it and floowing closly with your camera...then i realized you shot this one with you big zoom lens and the long end of the focal length...wow!
It definitely puts things into a different perspective ;)
It's a wonderful shot, full of vibrant colors and an amazing and very attractive contrast between this lovely crab and the wet rocks around him.
The warm light from the sun does definitely enhance the image and the composition you managed here is also nice.
Good shallow DOF and spot-on focus on the body of the crab.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Selen,
well taken picture of a crap escpecially this colourful specimen from which your image provides a good look on the back. It stands out really well against the dark and wet rocks.
But in this sunlight, did you use the flash as well?
regards, Jacob

Merhaba Selene,
This crab really stands out on the image!
It's very good your close approach to bring us that amazing details of the crab's carapace.
The vivid reds, oranges and even yellows makes a joy to the see it under that good illumination.
The dark background couldn't be any better to portray this colorful crustacia.
Your note is so complete and very informative about it.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Selen.
First I have thought that I have never seen such crabs in Black Sea but then I have read the area where the shot is taken. Excellent reproduction of the animal and substrate. I like how well you have used the flash. Details, colours, reflections are great. Composition of the shot is excellent too. My bets wishes and TFS.

Hello Selen,
A colourful creature has been captured with wonderful details!
The shiny shell is well exposed, and I like the apparently tilted composition!

Hello Selen, that's a fine little crab ! You did great with the sharpness it's so full of details. The exposure is perfect and the colors are well saturated. The dark background is a plus ! Thanks,

Hi Selen,
An impressive combination of colors. The best thing: the place. The Galápagos is mythical islands.
Salutacions cordials.

Hi Selen,
It´s a beautiful fire red crab, you´ve captured well despite the intense light causing a little bit of overexposure in back. looks strange over that plutonic rock. Nice job

It is nice how you captured all the sparkles of water with this photo too Selen. Even with the bright sunlight you managed to capture good details on the body.
I guess they are too small to eat.
Have a nice week.

Hello Selen

A beautiful,striking image of this crab.The bright colours against the dark rock is wonderful.
Excellent use of lighting.The colours are rich and well saturated.
Very well composed in the frame.I like the diagonal feel to the shot.
The low POV and DOF are well done.
