Default Slug

Whilst I was cleaning my shed out I came across this slug, As I've never seen one like this before I just had to grab my camera and take a photo.

Before:
DSCF2047

After:
slug

All I done was to crop the photo and add a light green background. Does it work ?

I prefer the before shot - the green is so bright that it makes the slug look dark in comparison. You have also lost some detail round the edges. Keep it on the pink surface - a ready made texture, like so many people take time to add in post-processing!

agree the pinkis much nicer, maybe it should be masked and some blurr applied to lose the background texture a little.

Curious about what this would look like.

Blurred background, cropped, curves and levels.
