Seriously Though ...? ..... (For Me)

How difficult can it be to photograph a snail? So many snails this morning after the rain so I thought quick close-up and then get on with the day. I wanted a close up of a 'face' and after 72 shots had to settle for this. Definitely a work in progress.

oooh I love the shell and the focus on the eye - very cool

I know Jane, I find them really hard to capture too!

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent shot

[Corinne]

great details !

[Ming Ryan]

Love how the eye is so clear.

@annied @gigiflower @graemestevens @cocobella @mingr Thank you :-)

Is that an eye on the end of the stalk??? Never knew that! They are now going to eat all your plants, you realise!

[Carol Wiseman]

Have you tried sideways? Probably teaching my grandmother to suck eggs, I know. Probably 36 of your shots were side views!! LOVE the eyeball :)

[Andy Mcculloch]

Great shell detail

[Dianne]

They move surprisingly fast when you are trying for a macro shot - but you have done well.

Brilliant capture. fav

[David Lee]

Jane, if you're like me, you're learning that the 100mm can be a bit temperamental about focusing. I can appreciate your frustration. However, also like you, I've come up with some really interesting - albeit unintended - shots! This one is terrific!

[Ingrid]

I like it- great shot- I think worth the effort :)

[Leon Buijs]

Interesting Point of Focus, but it kind of works with this processing, great image

This is much better than what you were originally after! Far more interesting, more creative…. a fav for me!
