Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

OK, must admit I'm no fan of slugs. But this morning he was the only obliging model. It was the orange rim around the body that first caught my eyes, so took a few frames. I dare say I actually find this shot quite 'attractive'.

Thanks for looking.

You did a very fine job, Des.
Comp is great and the color contrast is amazing.
These creatures are also perfect adapted in their environment by mother nature.
Beautiful ! for me !
have fun

Great depth for f4 too !

Very original.

The first time I've seen a slug on here... and even looks quite nice! Great vision to pick out the potential and the colours work a treat

Well I think that this is just an exceptional shot. great exposure, bg and you have caught the subject 'rearing up ' nicely. I never realised that a slug could make such a fine shot - well done indeed.

yes, a nice one Des. Quite a challenge to make a slug look attractive but you've managed it.

Very nice

Like this a lot Des, nice to see something different. Good capture

I like it, perhaps a touch more space at the bottom, but a subject amny would not even think about, so well done every nicely done, an attractive image of a surprisingly attractive slug.

Great image of a much maligned mollusc. The Society for Protection of Slugs and Snails would love this image - if there is such a society of course .

Excellent shot.
