Ouch! I'm trying to imagine that spiny creature going down a loooong throat. But crab does taste good and has a lot of food value. So good for her! And a good photo too, in spite of the grey light. :clap: :clap:
 
A wonderful catch here,Christine!! I wouldn't worry about a catchlight when you got a great picture like this. Like it lots. :t:
