Oops

While out in the meadow one evening looking for something to photograph with my (then) new macro lens, I found this strange sight.

The snail must have climbed just a little bit too far and was out on a limb, literally

I didn't notice the other insect on the right until I saw the image on my PC later.

Minolta Dynax 7D
Sigma 70-300 super macro 2 (a very cheap lens)
1/500th sec
f8
ISO 100
200mm
-0.3 stop exposure compensation
Centre-weighted metering
Tripod
Cable release
Full frame (no pixels were harmed in the making of this picture)

I like this Geoff. Something totally different. Good detail, attractive grasses and perfect BG. The insect and the snail balance the image well in my opinion.

I like it Geoffrey - maybe a little more room especially top and bottom but that's a minor nit.

Crikey - how's it got there Geoff, ah..........welsh snail - I didn't think

The wee green bug just finishes this quirky image off nicely

Very nice indeed Geoff. I agree with comment regarding a bit more space at the bottom, though I think the top is fine as it is.

I like this image like Andy said quirky and the colours are lovely

I like this one very much, Geoffrey. I agree with David about some more spaca at the bottom and top but other than that a lovely image with nice colours.
