First snail image I've seen that I've liked! I like the background and the composition, and it is so nicely sharp! did you put them at this spot for the photo?

[OvidiuCavasdan]

It was cloudy, almost raining and I was searching for something to photograph in the garden, lots of snails around and... that was the subject: Snails! Found these two under a shrub in the garden. Very low light in that place so I relocate them on the rock. It was a surprise for me to see that after about 10 min they were in action again.:)

Hey Ovidiu, what a great pose, and like the perch and BG. Excellent details, love it!

[Jerry van Dijk]

Hi Ovidiu, very nice image. I especially like the composition and the behaviour you've captured. I might consider evening out the BG, I find the bright spots a bit distracting.

[Ken Childs]

This is great, Ovidiu! Nice comp and I like the BG as is.

You really lucked out with this pose. How did you train them to do that? ;)

[Julie Kenward]

That is amazing! I don't know if they are fighting or THE OTHER THING ONE DOES IN THE SPRING but what a great pose you caught! I love the rock and the BG doesn't really bother me at all but toning it down a bit certainly wouldn't hurt. Love that you caught this in 1/50th of a second and it's still tack sharp. They must really have wanted their portraits taken!

Ditto Julie. A great snail portrait.
