Shot in my backyard; empty snail shell (snail's are everywhere here); I wanted a living, crawling snail for "Move Along" but they're all in hiding as the temperature's a bit low for them. So I switched song titles. I played more with this image than anything else I've ever done (let alone submitted):

Raw processing
desaturation
cloned out an errant hair
layers for sharpening the shell
layers for blurring the foreground
resized
border
downconvert for file size

Very nice. May be a more contrasted background would emphasize the subject.

I think that's what they refer to as bad bokeh in the background. It's quite distracting. Also, the snail shell isn't very interesting.

Enough with the Nick Lachey songs. I do like the tone here.
