Description

The challenge was to create an appealing image of the lowly and much maligned garden snail.

Ooops - I meant to give the particulars in my heading. Nikon Coolpix 4500, macro mode. Natural light (taken outdoors), with a piece of colored paper slipped behind the branch to simplify the background. #39863

You certainly make this guy more appealing in your shot, than what I generally think of snails! Good job! He stands out well! #116562

Thanks Brinn and Murry, thank you Cheryl and Claudia! I used to be snail friendly, and felt bad that everyone else here in California seemed to think that the only good snail was a dead snail. Poor things.

THEN I started gardening... :-( #116572

You did it! Very nice!!! I love the idea of the paper to simplify the background. Gotta try that! Thanks for your photo! #116762

Believe it or not, I tried photographing a snail yesterday.
Nothing nearly as artistic as this, though.
Very very well done.

Thank you all so much for your comments! For some reason I didn't get email notifications for this one, so I was unaware till just now that anyone had been commenting in the last few days. Much appreciated, all!!! #138845
