A mudskipper (Gobiidae), at left, and a mangrove crab (Scylla serrata) both hungrily eye a dead fish at the crab's feet on the slimy banks of a coastal lagoon. To obtain the mud-level shot, Nichols stabilized the camera nearby on sand and triggered the shutter from an observation post a hundred feet (30 meters) away.
