Definitely not a landscape. Not even taken outdoors, although the leaf and snail came from there originally. One thing I learned about snails on this shoot is that their eyes are the black dots at the end of the antennae.

Cool! Another ribbon! Just when I was thinking I'd never win another. Thanks, everyone!
This was a studio shot. I taped a leaf over the top of a lens hood and collected a bucket of snails from the garden. Very little post processing, just a bit of vignetting both top and bottom, and turned the saturation up to 11.

Whats really great about this shot is that you have the colors and the setup of a landscape; even a nice object positioned there. Very well done, Nice work.
Top notch macro shot. Great details. Love the background, the leaf and the droplets. Composition cannot get any better than this, I suppose. My favourite here.
This may well be my favorite. I love the colors/contrast, and it feels like its clear and blurred in all the right places. :) An all-around great photo.
