I only ever see images with sharp snails (no, I don't mean clever snails - you know what I mean) - so I thought I would put up a blurry one! This was last week when I was macroing the moss. The tiny snail (about 0.25 of an inch or so in diameter) started writhing from underneath the moss - so here you have a writhing snail shot through the moss. I hasten to add that no snails were damaged in the making of this pic - though he might have preferred to stay put rather than have my gigantic finger and thumb remove him to a "place of snail safety" - but he just had to go I'm afraid ---- he kept on moving the little moss heads. I quite liked how such a tiny creature looks like a giant in his own little world.

Now this is AMAZING! I love it to pieces! Well captured Sue!
Carol
Doubt if I would even have seen him, Sue: you are really down using your macro facilities to perfection here........showing up a world we hardly ever see (at least one I never see).
Very well done.
Ronnie.

It's another world out there, great and interesting shot
Susan
Wonderful capture, Sue - I've got plenty of these with all this damp weather we're having! Perhaps I should go out and point my camera at them before they all run off...
Trev 
really is great ... that snail could really be anything ..
If you hadn't written about it I could have gone into fantasy land about what it was all about
Thanks for your recent comment on my flight line picture. I love your work also. This is a sharp macro
Fabulous, a tiny monster in a micro jungle. Very well done.
Moira

Hugh
Photography at it's best Sue, wonderful image. Macro to be aspired to.
Tony
So sorry I missed this...deserves all the awards....big big round of applause for the GEA.....shows somebody up there takes notice....very very well done in every way.
Now getting better gets harder,but you can do it!
Developing the Midas touch with theses macro shots Sue...That's on the agenda at the club tonight, apparently someone is bringing a menagerie of thingys to shoot, the mind boggles, I hope they don't escape the lady togs will have a fit (mind you so will some of the guys!) if you know what I mean.
Well done on the awards...
Mal
I can put up with the blurry picture understanding the depth of field here!. It even makes a fantastic picture even more fantastic. I am changing your name from Sue to Macro Girl. Full marks. WesternRed.
Sue
Breathtaking. Simply an amazing image. I sincerely tip my hat to you for such beautiful creativity.
