Good catch and good sharpness.;-)

A creature with a great "yuk" factor which you have overcome with your presentation of the snail. The clarity of detailing, the colors, the sense of texturing and the little reflective droplet of water all work hand in hand to create a striking composition. Further enhanced by setting the image against a black background.

Great "Catch" and welle executed too. How did you get it to hold still :-)

Excellent up-side-down snail portrait, Karen... :)
The water drop adds so much to the beautiful image.

Colors are perfect.
One may touch it.

Gives me a new appreciation for snails, other than having them on my plate. They really are a beautiful and ODD creature! Excellent work. Beautifully saturated and nice light. Very well done!

Who knew that a snail could be so beautiful? Excellent.

Ditto all of the above comments. I'd crop the grooves at the top. IMO it cleans up the
top area and moves the snail a little higher up in the frame.

Nicely done, makes the snail appear as a thing of beauty. I might even crop both top and bottom and elongate the image.
