I was just thinking of a play on words with 'still life' while I was looking at the garden and noticed some snails. Hmm, I thought....almost still. Just some contrast and brightness and then cropped in a bit. I'm pretty new to all this so any feedback is welcome, buit I'm quite happy with the result for my first comp entry.

Nicely captured. Good lighting and texture. In a perfect world I would have loved to have the eyes in focus as well as the body but otherwise great photo.
Like mine, it isn't exactly still life but a little outside the box.
As technically, it dnmc (don't you hate that?) I took 1 off plus another because the dof is too shallow for my taste leaving you with 4.
Cute idea, but it doesn't really fit in this category. It's also fuzzy, which is probably normal since it's such a close-up shot, but when a picture is out-of-focus it really detracts from it.
I gave this photo a 1 because it didn't seem to me to fulfill my expectation of a "still life," a classic form of artfully arranged objects. Call me narrow minded but that's the way I see it.
