Had been to Worli past weekend and wanted to get some panaromic shot of the city and the sea but I came across some movement along the restricters.
There were loads of these vibrant crabs feeding upon then algae growing on the concrete restricters. One such sight I tried to capture was a territorial fight among them.

Nice behavior captured. Seems at the same time the wave crashed on the restricters and so the white foam particles can be seen. The lower side of the crabs looks slightly underexposed, maybe it is my monitor. Thanks for sharing.

The image is a bit underexposed especially at the lower area of crab, tried overexposing it, but the shell wud become too overexposed...So preferred keeping the lower end underexposed

Interesting scene. The splashing drop at the tip of the restricter looks nice. These are Grapsus crabs, which are specialised for life among the rocks and crevices along shores; several of their adaptations are readily noticeable.
You could try opening the shadows. Even by increasing the brightness or exposure, I don't see why the shell would get overexposed...

Interesting moment. The overall image is dark. Even if you increase the exposure by a stop the subject ie. the crabs wont be overexposed.
