Oh Wow! The week got away before I had a chance to finish voting on all the macro shots. I didn't get to this one. It is an amazing photo. The colors are WONDERFUL!!! I love this!!!!!!!!
I really like snail shots - and yours is very good. The one thing I would have liked was to see a littel less empty space and more of the reflection of the snail. Shame it is cut off. There is an area on the shell that has too much shine to it. With this being advanced editing you might have tried a little burn tool? Giving this a 9
Nice idea! The snail looks great and I love the edge. I like how one of the antennas is out of focus and seemingly poking right at the viewer.
For me, a table with different colors (to contrast better with the snail) might have worked better?
Well done!
What a beauty. I like the subject, colors and dof. I think the foreground and area under his head is a bit distracting and pulls the eye off of him a bit. Tough to avoid that though.
8 - Very nice. Nice colors, nice 'base' (what is it?). If the shell could be more focal balanced (in or out), and the right 'antenna' in focus, then near perfect.
i am amazed how many snails and slugs were entered...this is by far my favorite...i would have liked to haveseen more of its refledtion that was cropped off
