Lovely little gastropod. I like the super shallow dof, and the use of pattern underneath (fence or shopping cart shadow) I cant help but wish the top of smallest coil was a smidge more in light. Nice job

gotta love macro. pictures are great!

Very nice, DOF is just right.

I would've moved the shell just a few centimeters into the light so that the shadow didn't fall onto the top of the top coil. Alternatively, you could've waited for the sun to move a bit.

I don't know if it's the jpeg resizing, but is that some nisen banding on the edge of the shell? I doubt it as I've not seen it from the 100L before, but it is a Gauss-variant design.

I like the different patterns and the DOF.

the snail was on a wall behind some mesh so i was lucky getting the shot as i had to just hold camera in small gap on side of mesh and then rotated pic to make it look like shell was on the floor
