Default This one is my fav

I call it "ode to the snail". catchy eh? Again I don't have enough aperture control. So I couldn't get the whole thing in focus. Did the best I could though.

You know, I think I like this one better..... It doesn't show as much of the shell, but the body (main subject) is more in focus. What do you guys think?

Wow both of those are crazy sweet if you got the antenea all the way in each image that would be the only improvment I could see. The small DOF helps in this image to draw attention to the slimey body.

Yeah this one was wierd to take. the snail was trying to get behind this pipe, so I had to get around the pipe. it was an awkward position to get my camera plus my "macro lens" in. I will have to try to get the anntennae in the shot when I go shooting tomorrow.

Here is two more just for the heck of it. I like how the focus is on the wood. it makes your eye go straight to the snail.

I like the second shot. You can really see the texture on the snail.

Yeah it was a blast. Sadning though I accidentally stepped one because I was paying such close attention to the shot...
