You must be a big rig driver or have one LIFTED truck. Great shot! That's basically a perfect way to get a good "panned" shot. :)

The contrast between the blurred background and the clarity of the car make it a fun picture. Nice touch with the wave.

Wow I really like this photo. There's just something about the color of that guy's shirt. And the driver is well hidden, not distracting at all. Nice stop action. Good job.

You have frozen the car nicely while maintaining the sense of movement in the wheel and road. The woman waving looks so happy that I can't help smiling.

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.

I think I might have cropped a bit more off the top of the frame. Very nice lighting here though, and good focus and DOF.

If only the head could've been a little more focused. THis is a cute photo. I can't say I've seen but a snail or two on land in the wild. The DOF on this pic is just a pinch too shallow. I think the top of the photo isn't really adding anything either.

Too bad the eyeballs are a bit out of focus...
