I like this shot quite a lot but would like it even better without the fingerprint. ~Sharon

A very unique shot indeed. It appears that the snails are within a glass of some type, either floating on water or ???? Not sure here. Another shot that has no apparent explanation. There is some BH, and now I see the fingerprint :) But a unique shot in its own. Always be self critical Tradescant, as you are always your best critic :) Great entry. jano

You know, the composition of this shot is pretty unique! I think it is a fine entry. Yvonne

Nothing wrong with being self critical I think.

my first reaction on viewing this one is "ewww", I guess I'm racist against gastropods. My second reaction is that it's a very interesting picture. Lastly I feel that perhaps it's not precisely meeting the theme although part of the image is through glass. I think the fingerprint is fine, It's a good image, much to be interested in.

Is it allowed to be self critical? Posted this image and now looking at it I see:-

blown out highlights
fingerprint
depth of field not as good as it might be

Okay, it's not the best image ever, but I am trying. Hope to do better next challenge. I found coming up with an idea for this challenge, to be quiet a ... erm, challenge!

But it's fun trying. :-)
