"Where's the focus? Unfocused macros are just not very pretty to look at." - Seriously? I think this is gorgeous. Emerging from the fog, it imparts a sense of becoming. Wonderful.

The blur puts this so far above the other shell macros. 9

was the blur on purpose? not really doin' it for me, although if it had been applied only to the outer edges (hard to do in Basic Editing) it might have popped more

The deep rich tones are nice and I like the subject but it lacks a sharply focused area to draw iand hold my attention.

Pretty cool looking. The colors and soft focus compliment each-other nicely. I think it would help to bring up the browns a little and maybe put it on a brown background.

You do know that the voters don't like images that are not in focus, right? lol

A very artful depiction of a snail. Great effect. Well done.

hmmm so the OOF is on purpose to look more abstract or?
