Hey little fellow! What's your hurry?

Thanx for all the nice comments.
This tiny snail was going up one of our trees and it was the first shot I took of it. I then tried to place it better, but it feelt down in the grass and I couldn't find it again.
Later I collected some of these baby snail and tried to do a indoor shoot of one climbing allong some grass, but it didn't work: they were just too fast!!
That's true: they came only out at low light conditions and then they moved to fast for the slow shutter speed. In bright light they tend to stay in the house.
So I gave up and submitted the first shot, knowing that it had some focus problems.

Technically perfect! Doesn't fit to the topic too well (even with the title), but I must admit that I would have submitted this picture too if I would have made it.

Color and texture are great, also the sharpness. It needs the title to fit the challenge, however, a very interesting aproach to the topic.

Drenched!

I like that one very much because it acctually depicts rain and is not set up artificially. The falling raindrops are percect and the blurred person fits very well. Only the bikes in front disturbe a little. good luck to you

Great: the only flower-rain-compination where it acctually rains. Like the colors and their division into the lower green part and the yellow section very much. Good luck to you

Capturing people is the hardest thing in photography to me. You seem to have no problem with it: great work, wonderfull compostition and technically perfect to me. Color isn't the first thing coming to my mind though: the three sisters capture my attention, ther looks and smiles.
