Everglades Smallest Crabbing Boat Returns Home

I had a bit of fun with Color Efex tonight. This was otherwise a fairly bland image of this little commercial crabbing ship returning after the late afternoon's capture. All boats have to be in by 5:00 for inspection before they can sell their catch to the restaurants for the evening's stone crab special. These delicious crabs are in season right now - very yummy! Junko @jyokota and I had them for lunch before going out on our boat tour in the national park.
