[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Helix is a genus of common snails. It belongs to the family Helicidae. The most well known species are: Helix aspersa (Brown Garden Snail), Helix pomatia (Roman Snail, Burgundy Snail, or Edible Snail).

In addition to the hard calcareous shell that covers and protects the internal organs, the head and foot region can be observed when the snails are fully extended. When they are active, the organs such as the lung, heart, kidney and intestines remain inside the shell; only the head and foot emerge.

Hi Stefan, beautiful macro with splendid details, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Stefan good looking snail. Shallow DOF, good focus on the head, nice low down POV. TFS rgds Necip.

hi Stefan,
an image that one often does not see and which is very well made a success of cheer

Hello Stafan !
I love slugs and snails, and this is a very beautiful picture. Excellent details and beautiful soft colors. I love your shallow DOF, but I think I would have left some more space in front of the snail, and less space behind. it's just my opinion, still a great shot. Very well done !
Valérie.
