This is such a great shot!!! It's just too bad that it was entered in this challenge instead of another, such as the October Free Study, because I suspect a lot of voters will mark this one down for not meeting the challenge ("considered non-domesticated mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians living in a natural environment"). I really like this photo, though, so I'm *not* penalizing it in my own voting. I know that many others will, though, and in a different challenge, I'm sure this photo would have done *really* well.
Really well done! I really love this picture. I hope you do ok, because technically, this doesn't look like a natural environment for the snail, so you are probably getting hammered for not meeting the challenge. But it's really stunning.
