#139 Garden Snail

Our garden seems to be the centre of the snail universe, there must be hundreds of them !
I moved this guy out of the flower beds to a clearer spot and I was hoping he would come out of his shell but he was obviously too shy !


other sizes: small medium original auto

Well done - nice in b/w!

I tell you moving snails are a PITA to get a macro of - they move faster than you think!

nice b&w, like the swirl going out of focus

No danger of motion blur here! Good detail and texture.
