I agree with the comment, it's a nice picture Cory. But what's the wow from the negative space?

AHA! So this is what started your thirst!

I actually find using a flash with my P&S very rewarding and fun, and do it pretty often, actually.

Great shot though- love the colors of the snail in particular, and the angling of the light works great for accentuating the swirl of the shell.

Grats on the great finish, Cory. You need to go back and give this little guy something for his time and trouble to pose for you;-);-) You did a bang up job with the lighting and focus - the textures/details on the snail and the leave are fabulous. The red, blue and green colors are bold and rich in tone that they just pop off the page.
