sorry I must be to stupid to know what I'am looking at

poor subject, not visually interesting. I would have preferred this in color, with no salt.

I hope no slugs were killed in the making of this picture :( poor slug

B&W degrades this photo...

I've done that. Cool!!!!

Firstly, the image quality is not so good. Second, I do not see how this fits the challenge. I am wondering if you knew this was the candid challenge, and not the childhood challenge. (?)

Why am I not seeing this as topic-appropriate......

I am guessing you tried to meet the "Try to emphasize the mood of the moment" of the challenge and I do know what happens when you put salt on a slug. However, I do not think most of the viewers on dpc can make a similar association. I could see this image working if you had zoomed out a little more, had it slightly more in focus and had a slow shutter speed to show the slug twitching and squirming after the salt is placed.

I think that this would have been better in color. It would bring out much more detail in the slugs agony. The focus seems a bit soft.

would have liked to see a face or body posture looking at the slug or in the act

poor slug
09/02/2002 05:04:00 PM
doesn't say candid to me
09/02/2002 02:43:00 PM
some colour might have helped distinguish what is what in this photo...
09/02/2002 09:50:00 AM
Is it possible that you were mistaken about the subject?
09/02/2002 01:36:00 AM
I think this is an interesting concept for a photo, but this can't really be considered 'candid' in my mind... it's planned :) - jmsetzler
