Went around the yard searching for snails. Found several, and started playing with them. This guy was the most outgoing of the bunch. Put him on the leaf and sprayed him with water. He crawled out and looked over the edge himself.

I'm ever so grateful for the nature photography workshop I took a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks, everyone for the votes and comments. My first top 10 finish. Yay!

Great shot Ann. The snail really looks at if it's thinking "why am I up here" ;-)

I loved this during the challenge & gave you a 9...You did really well! Top 10! And a new PB!! Good for you!!
this is a great photograph, I love the colors and the composition w/the placement of the snail in the angle of the leaves~ keeps it interesting. I'd love to take a course like that!

Oh what an INCREDIBLE photo!!! I'd say that nature photography could use you as a marketing promo: "Look what we were able to teach" :)

Mega congratulations on a front page finish with this amazing photography!

good macro, I like it but perhaps there are too much reflections on the snail.

Really great macro!

Very good macro. I like the colors. I think the only thing that I do not like is how it connects to the challenge. Overall, very good.

I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......
