Dear TL Friends,

Today just a simple shot of snail (Siput Babi).. i took shot his behind instead of the front because i think his behind look ok than the front.. :))

"Snail"

He cannot fly.
He cannot hop.
He cannot run at all.
But you should see
The way he goes
Slowly up the wall.

He cannot skip
Or race about.
He has one way to go;
And as I watched him
I must say
He's good at going slow.

Thanks for looking.. Have a nice day!

cheers, terry


Meditate.
Live purely. Be quiet.
Do your work with mastery.
Like the moon, come out
from behind the clouds!

Hi Terry
and indeed he is good at going slow, very relaxing to watch. Lovely how is hanging in the green with patches of sunlight coming through - hope he does not eat all those green leafs.

Hola Terry,

Maravillosa macro con unos colores realmente impactantes, muy buena composición, me gusta mucho el reflejo solar en el caracol dándole mayor profundidad. Muy buen disparo terry !!! I Like It.

Hi Terry

I am not a fan of snails, but I do buy Snails Original pants. This shot is sharp and real up close. You are doing well with macro and I can see your W55 is well used.

I am still learning photography but not for macro yet. Surprise me and give me a superb macro that WOW! ...soon.

TFS, cheers

Very nice picture Terry. I like it. Alif

Hello Terry,

The fine light makes the fresh green really pop, creating fine surroundings for the snail!
Good details and the image has a fine 3-D feeling, and the snail is the eye-catcher...

Greetings,

Hi Terry, great macro capture of this pretty snail on a leaf in a fine composition with great clarity.
TFS and cheers,
