 I will never, never, never again trivialize the effort involved in shooting snail shots. I have now walked a mile in those shoes and they still don't fit...ouch! What an effort, just to shoot something this simple.

let me give credit where credit is due...
this shot was inspired by 3 of my favorites:

thanks, imagineer, jacko, and crabappl3

What I love about this photo is the look on the snail's face. Its eyes seem to be bugging out of its head and is trying desperately not to fall. Hey do snails have eyes? or are they just feelers?

Amazing shot. I had to keep staring at it to see fully what is happening with the snail. Very interesting point of view.

What a Great Capture, Skip!

This is the type of shot that needs some "Hang on Tight." type of text on it and mass sold as a poster.

... nah. It's way too good for a poster.
