[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I noticed that this year, there are many snails in my garden that I've never seen before.
I thought that snails only lived in humid areas but this guy stayed all afternoon in the full sun on a cedar branch.

Hello Lise,
Excellent colors. Not an easy subject to photograph as it is very difficult to get the accurate DOF.
The focus on the head is a very good choice.
Well done

Hello Lise,

This is an excellent capture.
The diagonal composition is very pleasing to the eye and the snail itself is perfectly exposed with very good, sharp details of both its body and its shell. Good, natural colours.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Lise,

What a wonderful capture, the detail and the colours in the shell are amazing, excellent d.o.f, framing and composition all perfect, lovely work,

Cheers Rick :)

Who knows Lise, maybe they are trying to adapt to the global warming! Whatever, this is such a lovely snail portrait in good focus and fine colours, for that I hank you my friend.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Lise,

Cool shot. I've never photographed snails before but I think I might give it a try this summer. You've done a great job here. I like the greens in your picture along with this little innocent-looking snail. Very nicely done. TFS.

Best Regards,

Martin

I missed this last night.
What a stunning image Lise!The clarity and depth here makes it look as real in front of me.
A perfect crop.
