Dangerous Dan

The Mantis Shrimp. One of the most dangerous creatures in the ocean. Also good at solving rubik's cubes (don't believe me? Youtube it)

I kid about the last part (but it is on Youtube) but they are highly intelligent and very very dangerous.

Beautiful plumage, even though that's not nothin' bleedin' to do with it.

Shy this one was, wouldn't come out entirely so this is all you get.

The risks I take for you

Standing on a slippery ledge, inches away from an icy death, just to get the perfect shot.

I'm kidding of course, I'm safely ensconced behind a wood railing. I'd nevre do something dangerous for a shot, well not and post about it anyway ;-)

This shot has a little post-processing done (I increased the contrast a bit) but not much.
