Excellent close-up of a garden snail. It looks monstrous here. Very sharp.

Nice macro.

I would have liked a tighter crop, overall nicely done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 12:16:44 PM
Good idea. A bit less saturation and detail on the eyes would probably score higher though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good detail although the glare from the light is a bit distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

nice dof and pov

Yukky subject but well photographed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Pretty but needs better contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 11:55:46 AM
Nice macro. But good to eat??? That's debatable!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 10:24:05 AM
Cool snail! Small suggestion---the brighter yellowish color at the top draws your eyes, and there's nothing to see up there. You might want to burn it out a tad.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 10:16:14 AM
So many details when you look at them up close.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 09:31:53 AM
Wonderful macro! Funny eyes!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 08:41:12 AM
Lovely macro. Nice and sharp with a soft non-destracing background. Composition is good and like how the colors look normal to me and not enhanced or over the top.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:00:56 PM
Nice DOF, great colors. Little blurry or focus is soft.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:57:22 PM

On the, er, hoof.

Used to be my favorite appetizer. Good strong textures and detail! 8

Go car Go!, Nice sharp image!

 03/13/2009 11:58:44 AM
Simple and self explanatory. The bg color is nice. Not sure if you did this on purpose but you misspelled "escargot"
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:15:56 AM
interesting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:12:25 AM
Wow, good one!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:57:36 AM
Snails give me the willies but you captured that little slimy guy pretty well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:35:35 AM
I love the background - compliments the subject nicely.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:21:53 AM
The DOF is amazing and I love the greens in the background. If the focus were a bit sharper this would really pop. Escargot.

reminds me of my walk to work every day

Nice job on the snail, the POV and DOF makes it stand out. I like the detai and textures.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:48:56 PM
I love these little guys. Cute. Nice detail and colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:08:36 AM
Wow I don't think I have been this close to a slug.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:02:25 PM
Nice shot of a not so pleasant subject - bit of a glare off of body, shell, and horns.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:31:17 PM
Lighting is a tad much, but just look at those eye stalks! Nice dof, which lends to the nice, creamy background.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:31:12 PM
Don't know why but this makes me smile. Maybe because I live where snails don't have shells. Well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:08:33 PM
hello escargo, never seen one of these guys up so close
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:49:34 PM
Got any garlic butter to go with that? The flash was maybe a little strong otherwise very nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:37:56 PM
The flash on this is harsh and s a bit disrating, making the photo less interesting than it could be.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:46:11 AM
Nice close-up and good depth of field. I like the angle as well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:16:34 AM
He better not be coming to munch on my veggie patch :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:07:19 AM
nice effort , wish there was a little more perspective to the snail. Image seems a little flat IMO. 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:38:12 AM
A subject who can't run away :-O Don't think I've ever seen a snail this up close.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:03:33 AM
Great light and detail.
