So close to knocking your off center shot off as far as score goes lol Oh well. Great effort though. You know if you use snails every week you will have a fantastic average score. They seem to be great models and totally bring your average up :)
Maybe I had the idea in my head from hearing stories about it all week, but this reminds me of the landing craft approaching the Normandy beaches on D-Day.
Very good, my only criticism is the front snails antennae and shell covering the rear heads a little.
I haven't penalised the shot for this, I love it.
This is great! Must not be easy trying to coordinate snails so I do give you extra brownie points for getting two out of three sort-of facing the same way. I also really like the lighting and how it shows details of the shell and the surface of the snail. Focus is amazing as I can even see the small beady eyes of the foreground snail. I would rather see more space in front of the snails in this type of composition than equal on both sides as they appear to be moving from left to right. I won't deduct this time because I like this photo. 9
It's hard to get a large DOF being this close (macro) to a subject, even with a very fast lens.. I'll assume this is the effect you were after, but I keep wanting to see detail on the other snails. 6
Excellent image. I love the DoF on this one with each snail sllightly furhter away and the white background is super. There is something nice and simple about this shot.
