It's a very handsome snail as snails go.

Still comming

Nice one Graham - very stately & majestic.

These creatures are not to be underestimated. I once put netting over my cabbages to keep pests off and the snails just used them as an escalator straight to the juicy leaves, then leaned through to munch!

Now on my home computer instead of a phone the snail is handsome indeed! Great photograph!

Grahame:

Could you include some technical details about your 1st shot, both camera and any lighting or post processing?

Cool picture, with excellent detail.

Cheers

I enjoy shooting them too. They do make for good subjects! Cool images!

[Randy Stout]

Thanks Grahame:

Now I just have to wait for the -10F temp and a foot of snow to go away, so I can find a snail or two!

You can keep them inside - feed them on lettuce leaves - shoot them - and then eat them

- and then eat them

This I cannot do.

It's still a very handsome snail. Do I see Rembrandt lighting? Anyway the lighting and the pose are great!

It's just above freezing point here and a snail has been wandering around the conservatory.
I haven't seen it yet, but there's a shiny trail going back & forward across the carpet, so it's obviously pretty active
