Well, I've stepped on some, salted a few but never saw one look so beautiful!! Great Art! Congratulations on your Blue Ribbon, look forward to seeing more of your work!
Wow, a new member and a blue for the first challenge! Congrats, that's a great way to start. This was one of my favorites in the challenge. Well deserved win!
Nice balance - unusual composition that works really well. I really like the snail but wish there were a bit more light coming through the leaf (or whatever) its on. That part has some great colors that should be brough out a bit more. Don't care for the large border nor the light kline that edges its inside.
Sure to place in the top ten, maybe top five, maybe even a ribbon. Excellent shot. I wish it wasn't quite so dark overall, but it does meet the challenge and even has a bit of "action" in it. LOL. Good luck, maybe there's a ribbon here? 9
This was my favorite image from the entire challenge. The detail, the focus, the color scheme, the backlighting, the almost transparent appearance of the body, the wetness ... its all there. I also love the composition, with the snail practically suspended above the clean, dark void with only a hint of support. Just added this image to my favorites. Congratulations.
This is such a cool shot - well conceived and perfectly executed. The lighting really came out great and I love the simplicity of the composition. Great job!
I'm not sure how a snail can be elegant but this one is. The shapes and the quality of light make this one special. One of my few 10s for this challenge.
This is a *great* example of backlighiting. I like that you've used the empty space to suggest a precipice that your subject is hanging over. I liked this immediately on viewing. The only thing I *don't* like, is the heavy border. I don't feel it was really necessary, and could have gotten away with a third of it's thickness and been effective.
