 This was from the same series - it's actually a better one than the first one I posted (I think anyway). It also shows the mushrooms that I found him in.

I could be wrong, but I think he's trippin.

That focus is superb. The earthy tones of the background and the mushrooms really sit well with the subject.

Snarky is just too cute for words.
Such personality, such a wardrobe, such a setting!
:-))

LOL! Trippin. He-he.

Ok - Done with the kidding and ha-ha's. This is a GREAT shot Ken. Spot on with the focus and clarity, well positioned subject and actually quite interesting (fella?) considering it's a slimy thing.

Thanks for sharing what would have been a front page shot in October's FS!

I'm not sure how I missed this one in the thread. But I have to say. I might have kept this one for a FS entry, or added a cape to him with an S on his chest! This shows alot of great qualities. Nice soft lighting, almost softbox or umbrella high and to camera left. Or a great job of directional bounce. Its very nice with shadows to show texture, both on Snarky and the fungi. This is a 10 in my book. Very nice Art.

Such a mild, unprepossessing fellow - nicely balanced abstract, fits in well with the surroundings.

*checks around office for hidden camera*

Yeah, it was too dark outside so I got a shovel and scooped up the whole muchroom patch, threw it in a shallow cardboard box and brought it into my office.

Hey, it's Snarky! I think I like this one better than his first appearance. He seems to have accomplished such a great task by climbing to the top of the mushroom! The lines from the mushrooms are cool too. The one thing that I find odd is the coloring... it's almost like it was taken in the office under the fluorescent lighting or something?

Cool shot, I love the patterns and textures from the mushrooms .... that snail must really be a fungi ... (fun guy, get it? .... sorry, I'll get my coat!)

I like the underside of the fungi especially the soft textures and color tones..... Another excellent macro from you mate. Great detail of the snail/slug, and I agree, this is a clear image of the slug, and yes, he may be tripping.....

Fungi tripping fever.....

I'm starting to wonder about this series Ken. I think you're getting a little bit fond of Snarky. lol PS Are you saying that these are magic mushrooms???

Oh, I love this one. I see Snarky does have eyes. He must have been sleeping before, or maybe he blinked. I like this composition and the mushrooms. It's interesting to see the size of the world from his point of view. Beautiful DOF and focus.

e.t.a.: Snarky looks so cute here (who could ever imaging a cute slug?), that I think you have the beginnings of a good children's storybook.

love this ken .. love the way he stands out from the surroundings by being so incredibly well focused .. the slimey look helps too .. i dont see how snails can actually trip seeing they dont have any legs ... lol .. just thought i'd give you a dose of lame in case you were hangin' out ..
i reckon you could do wonders with this trippin snail in an expert edit re my pm .. you know, a woody or two, maybe a well placed skeleton, and possibly a young and extremely photogenic little boy all combined with a snail .. the mind boggles .. well, mine does a lot ..
hope you have a great weekend .. :)
