EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Colin Keates from Universal Images Group (UIG) showcases the intriguing world of sea life, specifically featuring a Spiny spider crab (Maja squinado) and a smaller Fiddler crab (Uca sp. ). The image is taken from an overhead perspective, providing a unique view of these fascinating crustaceans. Set against a pristine white background in a studio setting, the details and scale of both creatures are clearly visible. The stark contrast between the large Spiny spider crab and its diminutive companion, the Fiddler crab, is immediately apparent. This composition allows for an interesting comparison between two animals that inhabit different niches within their marine ecosystem. The intricate patterns on their exoskeletons add to their visual appeal. The vertical orientation of this photograph emphasizes the full length of both crabs while highlighting their distinct features. With no people present in the frame, all attention is drawn towards these remarkable creatures and their natural beauty. Maja squinado, commonly known as the Spiny spider crab, possesses long spindly legs adorned with sharp spikes that serve as protection against predators. In contrast, Uca species or Fiddler crabs have one significantly larger claw used for communication and courtship rituals. Colin Keates' skillful capture invites viewers into an enchanting underwater realm where wildlife thrives. Whether you are fascinated by marine biology or simply appreciate nature's diversity, this stunning photograph offers a glimpse into the mesmerizing world beneath our oceans
