They should have been out of their shells. I guess boring is waiting for them to.

Interesting concept. I looks like a photo finish is in the making.

I like the colors in this picture. It proves that boredom isn't just black and white. Great finish line... my bets on the little guy in the middle.

I like the idea, the snails standout well as focal point, colors good, might be a little flat just infront of the first snail.......nice work.....7

They really needed to be out of their shells for this to work.

like the idea, but the racetrack is rather non-aesthetic

Euw. I hate snails. Apple is kinda old. In focus but color/lighting seems off. Not sure which. Like to POV - close up good. Like the concept - fits with challenge. 6

Nasty detail on the edge of the fruit. Nice idea, but the lack of care in prettying up the fruit prop is magnified on the page. And the snails aren't really racing as much as hiding in their shells. Maybe you could have gotten them going (don't know with what - petrol?)
