The rhythmic repetition of the flow of line in both rock and crab, unify this image and make it cohesive. The crab, clad in the shockingly bright primary colors of red and yellow, contrasts vividly to its den of black lava. This shot, organized around the contrast in color and unity in form, is my comment on the remote nature of these isolated islands in the Pacific and its effect on wildlife. Predation here is unknown, and protective coloration is unnecessary. Over the centuries, nature has enabled these colorful crabs to standout from their environment, instead of blending in. And that's the point of my picture.
