[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After the rain had stopped i went hunting snails and found this shiny one in our garden,looks like he had been varnished!!.I took this with the standard 18-55mm lens which proved tricky getting the snail in focus,i did not quite manage that,wrong apperture? It was hand held on manual setting, taken in raw,cropped and edited with a program called raw therapee,i must stress i have got a lot to learn yet about how to edit in raw!!Still not a bad result,Thanks for looking,Dane.

Bonjour,
On pourrait presque croire que la coquille a été nettoyée pour les besoins de la photo !
Bonne journée.

Hi Dane,
Great picture,the snail almost jumps out at you,if you will excuse the expression,
crisp focus and limited DOF course a slightly 3D effect.
Best regards,
Brian.

Hello Dane,
you show a really natural picture with the high clarity just as after a cleaning rain.
Light and sharpness are admirable.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Dane, They say just after rain is a good time to take pictures . I think your shot ofthe snail show that this is right. You have captured fine detail and colours. with a nice shine on the shell. well done TFs.

Los colores de la concha son muy buenos. Mi primera impresion antes de leer tu descripcion fue que la habian pulido :)
