First, I love your composition....great use of whatever lens you were using. Second, your PP work is wonderful, especially highlighting areas in the pics, foreground in first and second, animal in third. Not too much vignette. Great job with this shoot...:-)

Which part - lol
Regarding exposure: even though I have my Chromebook screen to brightest setting, and most all pics on UHH appear OK, this one required that I peer closely to see the crab. In other words, overall exposure seems a little dark - just from this one viewer's perspective.
Regarding protecting its treasure: the crab's leg touching the flat scallop shell made me smile and describe it thus.

Linda....the whole purpose of my pic was to keep the crab in the limelight. I achieved this with some creative work using the radial filter especially. Lots of great stuff can be done with the Lightroom filters and in this case, the radial. Also thought of inverting the mask but that would have worked its magic on the perimeters of the photo, and I wanted to work with the carb. Thanks again.

Delightful shot! It looks like it's protecting its own little seashell treasure :)
A bit dark to see details, but the download helps.

I love my 6D and I can see you do also. I have used it briefly for swim comp. What glass are you using?

My 70~200 F2.8 was being serviced. For these shots, I used my 70~300. Thanks so much for your comments

Not designed for it, but you obviously demonstrate in the right hands the 6d can do some great stuff!
Great hearing from you and thanks for your encouraging comments :-)

Excellent sharp action shots. Not as easily captured with the 6D focus system as with some other Canon systems, which I think makes this an exceptional set. How have you set up your focus points? Am I right to assume you are using BBF continuous? Thanks for sharing these.
Thanks so much for your thoughts and kindness. Absolutely, continuous and A1 Servo.

Clearly, in a skilled hand, the 6D is valid camera. Great work.

I was fortunate to have shot the Marty Fish Tennis Tournament in Vero Beach the week of April 29. All of these players are first rate, including this 17 year old who went on to win this year's Wimbledon Men's Junior title, Denis Shapovalov. There was a recent UHH discussion regarding full frame cameras and the 6D did not go unnoticed. However, one of our members mentioned that he was so disappointed with shooting sports events with his 6D that he sold the camera on eBay. I find the 6D a delight to work with. Hope you enjoy these shots of Denis. By the way, his coach bought my hi-res shots. Lucky me.
