well, what can i say about this one?.
ive wanted to take a shot of a slug for a long time but never knew how to portray it properly.
many that i find are full grown and black and play havoc with the exposure, this was a young one and lighter in colour so i thought i would have a go and try to show the beauty of these creatures.
hope you like it.

Hi Clint

What an interesint, artistic and rather original post and composition. Purely delightful!
I think this is the most beautifully presented slug i've ever seen :)
The way it sort-of coils its body around that thin straw is just brilliant! And you maanged to capture that greatly!
The shallow DOF here made that BG outstanding and the flash is also well controlled.
The colors are lovely and the details very nice and sharp (as usual, when it comes to your shots).

Splendid work!
Bravo and TFS

Well, leave it to you to illustrate the beauty of a slug! Few slugs have had the honor of being portrayed by such an artist as you. This is just so wonderful in its simplicity.

Hi Clint

I do love your shots, the simple compositions with the strong colours and excellent DOF are so striking. I love the slug, I have never seen a slug so attractive :) I love the light and textures on the slimey skin. Stunning
