Thanks for share this competition! But, who wind this run?

I like the note about this little mollusc. I like you composition, good use of shades and macro too!

Good Work!

Very nice composition, great details a shadows.

Very interesting post Grzegorz. Normally one doesn't find them climbing up walls. Well seen. Good notes also. Well done

Excelent texture and snails' shadows. Tell me which was the first in finish?

Re-Salut, Grzegorz!
Que d'action dans cette scène! ;-)
Bien vu. Bonne composition.
J'aurais été tenté d'ajouter du flou directionnel aux ombrages pour accentuer l'impression de vitesse :-)
Merci

WOW you were cutting it fine at 1/650! One almost got away.

This is a real beauty, and the compostion is beautiful. I really like this shot.

Very well done and thanks for posting

Fantastic composition. Nature is beautiful art, and you have it framed here so nicely. Clarity and lighting are great.

Dear Greg,
Excellent POV, sharpness & light effect.They look dormant since there is no slimy trail! TFS.
