If this is one of the biggest snails then this is very good portrait photo (not macro :-))
Very good shot. I love it.
Congrats!
All the best

Excellent detail and the focus in just the right place. In one of the comments you say you think the DOF is not enough. Well, I don't know what settings you used, but this is one of the issues with macro shots. Even if you close the aperture right down, you are not going to increase the DOF dramatically. So the skill is often in getting the "right" bit in focus, which you have done here.
AJ
PS. I like the concept of snails with "houses", and the naked (homeless?) ones!

Well, yes I do watch both programs quite often, just the killing animal parts I dont like!
Also where they show this bad animal treating in the US, is for me awful to see...but Iknow it happens everywhere!
For me its great these snails DO have houses, looks different anyway, where are you afraid of my dear? Hugs Jenxx

Well, not too fast mostly, and certainly not in circles, although that is possible in my house:)
I know I wouldn't need to go anywhere for shots, but I just have to, getting restless and wanting
to see different people and cultures, don't you have the same??
But I still prefer as will big animals above snails and bugs to be honest...even above people!!
See you soon, hugs Jenxx

Hi Jen,
I know that you are moving faster and mostly not in circles, but your house on the back that could be you as well.
Beautiful "back"yard wildlife over here. The proof : You don't need to spend a fortune to get into all those National Parks at the other site of the globe for making such top shots. Colours and composition are in perfect balance. Your sharpening focus is on the appetizer: A delicious salad. Good Idea. Lieve groeten van Paul

As you being the queen of the macro, I am very
happy you took some time to see my little creature dearest Nicki:)
It was really to laugh about me in this yard, crowling around in my nighty...lollll
Trying to find my zoo animals, just like
today having an eye on a ladybug, but that
was high up in the bush, so had to pick a chair
and by the time I was there it flew off:((
Dont you dare to laugh.....:))))
I have my pyama on but its warm here, what about
there??
Slaap lekker mijn lief vriendinnetje, dikke kus en fijne dromen!! Liefs Jenxx

Wishing you a good night sleep,

Isnt it funny to see how it put this whole leaf in its mouth?? so fast and wonderful to see, and looking at its shell it wasnt a young one, grey anyway..lolll So, a new world opened for me, tried a ladybug this morning, standing on a chair, but it flew off...:(
I still wonder where the eyes are actually, do you know?? Enjoy your day, must be hot there as well by now, Jenxx

GReat macro... lol...somebody is hungry, what a shot Jen, and very good focus, plus the good lighting conditions that helps a lot in the details of the snail, perfect shot.
I think the first that you upload is better...because of the fealling about the mouth use...

chaotic with grass around, but will just try
