Slimed!

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted November 15, 2013197 views4 comments

Thought this "Rogues" gallery needed one more species to round it out, so I looked at my slug shots from last month and chose this one, because he left a trail. Anyone who has ever handled one of these critters knows how hard it is to remove the slime from their fingers. Thanks for viewing; comments and suggestions always welcome.

Yes, very nasty slime! Great detail showing us all the ridges and curves of this critter!

I like the slugs patterns & textures as well Jim. The softer light & its subsequent 'sheen' has revealed them nicely..
Along with the highly visible trail and green algae patches, it's perfect for this theme.
Well done

Nice image of this slimy creature, Jim. I like the detailed view of the slug, the shiny sheen on the snail which adds to the slimy feel, the slimy trail, and the contrasting colors of the slug on the background. So, yes, it is a well done image. . .but still ugly!

Only minor thought for improvement would be if the comp of the snail and its trail were more diagonal in the image.
