Nice to see a snail face to face, for a change! Very good picture and the snail looks lovely, too.

Great picture. Good use of DOF. I like the way the shell is out of focus.
Focus on the snails head is great. I like the textures on the snail that you have managed to capture so nicely.
The shot is also slightly off centre, great.
The only comment i can add is that I find a little distracting is the one blade of grass in front of the snails face. But I also like it adds to the depth.
Great picture.
:)

That's an excellent portrait Jean Michel. The colours and the sharpness are just amazing. Good perspective with the grass creating a good framing. Very well done. Thanks for sharing.

Perfect POV and composition, great details and light.
I always have problems with good focus on eyes while photographing snails. In your photo it is perfect.
I like it very much.

This is great! I like this alot. Lots of character and a superb POV. I liek the limited DOF here - really brings attention to the right places. Very well done Jean-Michel.

This is such a delightful point of view, Jean Paul! I really like how your depth of field adds mystery and intrigue to the snail. Lovely saturation throughout. Just a fun image!

Helix Pomatia... Proxima!
Je me suis essayé à la limace, sans grand succès jusqu'à maintenant.
J'imagine votre face à face... Quelle rencontre fructueuse. Énorme elle est, en effet.
Un excellent angle de prise de vue. Une composition impeccable. Un travail léché!
Merci Jean-Michel et un bon weekend à vous en Haute-Normandie!

Bonsoir Jean Michel,
Cet escargot est gigantesque! La chasse a certainement été éreintante ;-)
La prise de vue est parfaite avec une profondeur de champ laissant les détails de la tête et des antennes bien ressortir. Très beau travail.
MPLP, cordialement,
Jean-Patrick

Another nice macro. Very nicely done capturing the snail from this POV. Pitty about the little grass sprout in the way.

Good DOF and composition, well done

Wow what an excellent POV. Straight on head shot and with great details on the snails face. DOF is great putting great emphasis in its head. Composition is awesome and colors natural. Love this shot.
