The composition is great but the focus is too soft and it seems like your white balance is not correctly set

Congrats Sally. I just noticed that this shot also won an Honorable Mention in the Everyman Photo Contest's Landscape/Nature category.

A very deserving double winner by a very talented photographer.

Very sweet. I wish the top of the bud weren't quite so bright, I'd like a trace of detail there. Similarly, the back of the shell could use a tad more separation.

I see this as a ribbon winner all the way. Incredible lighting, great composition, focus, tones, and even the border adds to the effect. Awesome shot! My only 10.

Congrats on an amazing capture! It looks as if the snail is melting with the plant.. very cool :) I also love your creativity with this shot. However, I think that the background might take away some attention from the snail & plant, maybe a more solid background would have worked better, or simply just a little darker tone, otherwise I think it's perfect. GJ!

A nice reinterpretation of "Over the Top" -- it continues the story nicely. I really like your lighting, it has a lot of "pop" but in comparison with the other, it seems that the backlighting and use of negative space is what helped create the sucess of the original. However, your image stands nicely on its own. Lovely texture and detail in this image!

Beautiful image, wonderfully lit. I'd never seen the original, either, so thanks for pointing that out to me.
