 This was my Zen entry. Didn't use it.

I set the kids free in the yard to find the smallest snail, this guy is TINY! Maybe a 1/2 to 3/4 cm. Balancing on a thin shoot. Slimmed his way down without difficulty.

Quite an artist, isn't he?

I like that the depth of field is not quite as narrow as in your earlier pictures in this series, at least it seems so.

this is so rad. really like the OOF but still distinct eye stalks, and the background blur is perfect. great work.

Lovely shot. Snails do come in minute sizes, don't they? What are their beginnings? Eggs? Babies?

It would be Zen to me, but perhaps the light on the top it too heavy. Anyway, I liked your entry in the other challenge :)

Very cool use of bokeh.

To me... it's full of tension. Will the snail make it... or is his hold too tenuous?

Not Zen.

I'm glad you have the perfect portrait already done.

:D

That said, I like hte image. FS??
