I have taken shots like this before; it isn’t easy to get the whole animal in focus, especially as they usually come out on dull days. Interestingly you can see both pairs of eyes stalks on this guy.

Isn’t this just cool! You took an outstanding shot Linn. I love the colors and am so fond of snails. Much like a turtle, they wander through this life in their armour. They are very interesting little creatures. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing.

I love it! The graceful curve of the leaf seems to imitate the snail shell. This is great focus for a tight macro–little beady eyes and inquiring antennae……….nice title. It’s nice to take time to look at the little things we so often miss.
