Snail on Flower Petal

Canon G1 Infrared, 1/200th sec., f4.0, Hoya +10 Macro Lens. His shell is about one-quarter inch (0.6cm) in diameter.

Excellent shot - the shell almost looks translucent. I really like the light in this.

Peter

Thank you, Peter... you're right -- the shell is almost translucent. Between his being small and semi-invisible, I was lucky to get anything of him.

Infrared macro - why didn't I think of that before?! Great idea, Don, and a nice image too.

very nice don
unusual sighting of a snail
the petal , being diagonal in the photo, and such a long shadow showing for such a small creature, make it different.
light coming from above the petal,and the picture being bl/wh. add to the' look'
plus the stripes on the petals with the snail lying in between.............

mr. snail looks like a glass button standing sideways
although it is a snail.
that can be seen as plain as can be ........

I took a picture of a snail this week also,
on a tree trunk.
( the snail , not me)
he was half in and half out of his shell

: )

thanks
marie

Beautiful shot!
I liked the colors, and the way that only the snail got in the focus.
The B&W adds a lot!

A very beautiful photo. I love the simplicity and minimalist feel of it.
