It looks as though it has come off pretty well to me. Even at snail's pace you must have worked like lightning to pull this off.

Looks ok to me too, the Snails look good set against that black BG. Nicely done, John.

Very artistic shot John and love everything about it.
The stacking technique has brought aout the details well and the black BG makes 'em stand out perfectly!

greetings,
