It was already too late... a forgone conclusion I’m afraid.

Poor crab. Lovely meal for the gull though.

More orange and teal effect! Suits these subjects rather well, it has to be said!

"Oi, you! You big ugly gull! I got these pincers here, you won't like them! *clacks pincers* That's right, keep back. Noooo, back I say! I'll get you! Please, think of my children. I beg of you. I don't taste any good anyways.... Please, oh please. What did I ever do to deserve this? Ouch, that's my back. I'm poisonous, I say! Hey, that's my leg. No. NO! Noooo-----"

Nice shot, I imagine the poor crab is panicking a wee bit

Well spotted, it just tweaks up the image.

It’s a cinematic technique, used a lot in movies like the Matrix and The Godfather, which I watched recently over the feast I’ve period.

I'll need to practice my David Attenborough impersonation
