Nice shot of the snail. I don't know that I'd ever eat one, but they're fun to look at.

Doesn't look too appitizing to me, but I am not a fan of snails. Love the depth of focus and the simplicity.

Beautiful angle, balance on a blade of grace, the texture of the grass and the shell, and the overall silhouette.

Coming back to comment after voting. Not a fan of escargot but I have to admit the presentation of the elements and the technicals of the photo are great. Lighting brings out the colors and details of the subject(s) Love how you had the green shoot of leaf come into the composition at a diagonal. It rises out of the bottom left corner, presents the main ingredient just off center of the photo and continues to travel towards the top right corner.

I do enjoy eating snails (the fresher the better), so I appreciate the take on this image. That said, the presentation of your model really isn't that pleasing. Poor angle on the shell and the stuff around the opening just looks kind of gross. Maybe waiting a bit for him to come out and show his head would have been worth it.
