Shy Snail eating Strider

[David Roach]

EOS R RF 70-200 @200 f8 1/1300 ISO 1250 HH, Manual EXP, cropped for pano

After spending a half hour army crawling as close as I could get and imaging this beauty, the office building security guard walked up and the session was over. I quickly apologized and moved on, just like my friendly companion/model.

[Jonathan Ashton]

The bird looks good, just for presentation I would be inclined to darken the foreground grass a little.

[William Dickson]

Very nice David...I like your chosen crop. Good POV and pose on the bird. Nice detail. The BG shows the habitat well. Exposure looks good.

Digging the crop on this one. Nice low angle. Framing is right on.

[Robert Kimbrell]

Nice low angle. The crop works well. Very nice light you captured on him. I would not have noticed, but I like Jonathan's suggestion to darken the foreground.

[Brian Sump]

David, pretty frame.

I might be inclined to evict that grass sticking up underneath the bird and touching the leg. Might also wish a slight head turn toward the camera in a perfect world.

TFS!
