Saturday went canoeing. I know this is not an image you think of when canoeing. Shot this when we got out of the boat for a stretch at the half way point.

Nikon D200 and Nikor 105 f/2.8 lens

It's hard to photograph a brown subject on a brown background but this is great. Your DoF is right on for this shot with the snail and leaf sharp and the rest OoF. :toast:

Great comp and DOF, David. I can almost hear the crunching.

Nice catch of the snail, David...good DOF to separate him from the background.

Great shot! On my monitor, it's the largest piece of E'scargot (sp) I've ever seen. Really sharp w/ brown on brown

Good eye to see the snail; excellent DOF choice.
