gorgeous picture. Though the snail's shadow is so dark it looked more like a
black slug until I realised it was a shadow.

NIce image.  Maybe a touch on the dark side.

I understand the atmosphere you were trying to create, but the image would have
benefitted from being a little lighter. I'll bet I'm not the only person that
says this - I used to get it from people like 10 times a round until I started
listening. Wish you had mentioned the image creation process just a little
more.

you get my best punctuation. A very beautiful image. I can't imaging how you
have modelled the snail with pov, but great anyway, simple and great.

Dark. But adjusting the gamma arises a very nice scene!

I'm astonished at how many snails and turtles are depicted in this =
competition.
Nice soft focal blur and subtle colors.

From 25ct@lineone.net:

  Nice image. My only thought is that the slug seems too 
sharp against a slightly over-used focal blur. Highly 
believable slug though!
