A couple of years ago in Barbados, I promised my wife that I would take a break from searching for wildlife and simply relax on the beach. As luck would have it, the wildlife came to me. I had a lot of fun watching these Atlantic ghost crabs as they dug their burrows in the sand. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 200, f/5 at 1/1600th of a second.
Sean, you captured just enough of that ghost crab for your image. The rather washed out exposure and blurred surroundings of the greater habitat kind of underscores the “ghost” in the crab. I like it!

Haha. Nice catch.

Those “periscope” eyes make the photo–not sure if he was coming up or going down, though.
You should always listen to your wife
Why Not?
