Snail in the rain

[purplepixie]

I photographed this snail sliding around on the outside of my French doors during the rather unusual February rain in Cape Town. I would love some feedback (this is my first image post). I use a Canon 350D with 18-55mm and 70-200mm zoom lenses - the 200 has a macro function which I used here. The backlighting proved a bit tricky and also shooting through the glass so I couln't really use fill-in flash.

Good job for going through rainy glass. I like how you set the 3 images in one. They fit very well together.

Hi Saralonde - tx for the feedback. Really enjoying this useful site.

The colors are great, very crisp and clear. And it's a really unusual perspective on the snail--nice catch!
