      A passion of ours each year on holiday is to go Rock Pooling. My daugter found this Lobster half hidden and tucked away beneath some rocks in shallow water.

      Nice fine and a very good shot. How did he taste?

      It' the angle that makes the claws almost the main subject really makes this shot. Nice work Dave

      Thanks Fred - We just couldn't bear boiling him alive for dinner. We did the nice thing and put him safely back in the sea and also kept an eye out in case someone else came along.
      Thanks Ruth - He was very lively at first out of the water but then became very still allowing me to take shots from different angles. This was my favorite.
      Thanks Alan - It was his tail that was flapping around the most. The claws were much slower moving (generally!)

      I just noticed the difference between the 2 claws. Guessing each claw has a different purpose?
