 Canada Day fair at the Fire Hall

the string is attached to a chunk of hot dog, as a lure for the crabs. there were about 15 crabs in a huge tank, and they would only do one race, then have a rest. one crab had to be taken out of contention, as she laid her eggs in the track....

they were all put back in the sea afterwards.

I hate these hats when I take pictures. It is so difficult to capture the model's face. Did you try to crop out the bottom of your pic? It's not adding a lot to your composition.

Please tell me that's not a leash on the crab. :-) Nice crisp BW shot
