comp entry

[millicat]

This is Mr Snail from day 270 (today) of Project 365 and I entered him in a photo comp today .. that Camera House Photo Friday.
1/40 sec, F11 ISO 200

CC would be good if you have it .. Are those his testicles that are hanging from his mouth ? if not they look like it :P

Nice clear detailed shot, a little more DOF would have been nice but otherwise very good.

Well done Anna. Focus is good (on eyes), plenty of detail, well composed. Did you use a tripod for this?

No they are not the testicles hanging from the mouth. Snails are hermaphrodite (possess both male and female reproductive organs).

Good luck with the competition.

[millicat]

Thnx guys.
Herby, no I didn't use a tripod. I was crouching then knealing down as he was on a small bit of branch in a billycan that was on the bench.

Edit: eaglem, yes i agree about bit more DOF

Those shaky hands are getting better. I was taught that when using shutter speeds slower than 1/60 sec you should be thinking about using a tripod.

hahah then I aced it. Will remember that for future reference .. under 60, use a tripod.

that may even win it Anna. Good luck

Thnx Ian. Doubt I will win as there are some colourful entries. However just that ppl think it's good enough is a win for me.

ROF LO L. maybe a snail is not considered quite cute and cuddle enough to win a photo comp!!

This is a cool shot Anna, good luck with the comp.

I like the dof. The tips of the antennaes* are in sharp focus and I reckon that lifts the image up a notch or two. If the perch was in focus it would posssibly detract from the image so I think you have nailed this. Nice light, great specular details on the ummm..pointy bits!

* pointy bits at the front lol.

Not that, just it's pretty bland in colour compared to alot of others. Maybe if he were on a leaf to give a green blurred background instead of dark stuff. Anyways I'm happy I got a good shot.

Thnx Mick .. Appreciate the comments. Out of the bunch, this was the only one that had antennaes in focus and a decent pose but also looking at me.
