YAY! I'm so pleased to be critiqueing this photo, mainly because I LOOOOVE snails. Is this gravel and an aquatic snail? I'm not sure if there's water there, but that's definitely gravel.
This to me is a very strong image, technically and.. on top of that, I find it very appealing in that I like snails. I can understand if others don't find it so appealing, lol.. snails are a bit phobia for some people.
The light in this photo is superb, it's not too bright or to harsh, and it's not too little. The shadow adds to the depth of the photo.
Does it fit the challenge? You can't get a more natural six, hehe. Beautiful photo, beautiful idea. Well done.

That's a whole lot of orange. Defianately a natural number. Good find. The color is nice, maybe just a little TOO orange for my personal taste, but still well done. focus and clarity are good. nice detail in the chell and the gravels. the angle and framing/cropping look nice as well. and the border compliments this very nicely. good shot. good luck in the challenge.
I like the idea of the colors and the structure of the background. I don't like the lighting and the focus might have been more on the shell. All in all this is no longer 'natural' but a constructed and composed picture, so you might have had the opportunity to improve lighting and focus, I suppose.
