It's a Photoshop-ed photo. I wonder if it's good enough or not.
There is a lot of noise as it was taken at ISO-800 in a very dark rainy day, under the leafage of a tree.

I like it, though if it were me i'd leave a hard edge along the part of the snail that isn't touching thr ground, some of the shape is getting lost.

This time it is your turn. Try to sell it to AUDI. They did a TV spot with snails. The red-line in their campaign was ADVANTAGE BY TECHNIQUE. In the snail spot different snails looked at green leaves down a hill. One got back in it's snailhouse and rolled downhill to arrive first at the green leaves.
I like your post processing.

Well, I'll contact AUDI as soon as possible!
By the way, I don't know the AUDI TV-spot, but I know a very good TV spot of OMV petrol stations with "fast green snails"

maybe i'm sounding like a cynic here but don't usually large corporations that are incredibly image conscious try and control the image from start to finish, they hire art directors, production designers and photographers to portray the image they want, and they pay a lot of money to do it.

branding is so important these days that even though 50 cent (or was it nelly) made a song about specific nike sneaker (and a video!) nike still didn't buy it because they had no control over it, while at the same time they pay rappers to insert lyrics about products all time , as long as they are in control.

Yes of course. My posting was referring to a picture (After the rain) with a FedEx truck in it where ECOBO suggested to the photographer (Aleks) he should sell it to FedEx.
Kind of "insider joke"

I dont agree. A friend of mine succeeded to sell a 6x6 cm slide to Coca-Cola for $3500. It was a lovely shot of two kids, playind with a Cola-box on the beach.
