Default crabs

Hello all. I was relaxing at my moms beach house when a man aproached me with a bucket full of crabs. A dozen to be exact. I believe this is the best picture I shot. I'd like to hear your opinion. Took some colored ones, although the colors were great the picture didnt come out good. I got my frst dslr, a Rebel XTi two weeks ago. So still taking pictures in JPEG. And mostly in automatic settings. Still I like the pic, you?



BTW they were delicious!!

The pic is nice, and I like how the crabs form a circle around the bucket.

I like the photo. Not sure I'd want to be your subject though. Might get eaten!

Hey, thanks everyone for your comments.
I also think they look like the front end of a car, especially this car. 70's Escort



sorry I dont know what kind of crab they are. They are from the southwest corner of Puerto Rico, if that helps.

Thanks again people! keep them coming!
