If you want to learn patience, photograph a snail. It took three days to get Mr. Snail to cooperate. I boiled and deboned a chicken for the carcass and shot it in my light tent with two table lamps on a rheostat and a hand held flashlight.

High marks for an interesting take on the challenge. The photo itself is rather busy, the snail doesn't stand out enough, and I don't think the black background works. Gutsy choice of subject. 6.
