While taking pictures of my flowers outside my front door I noticed this pesky snail trying to devour one of my irises. Funny thing about these irises, they started out purple the first couple years and now they're white.

I find snails to be very interesting subjects. I really wish we had them here - but they'd freeze to death. On the technicals, the highlights appear blown. Not sure if you can correct it much in PS or not.

Serendipitous capture! The background coloration fights with the subject. Perhaps an application of burning to the background would bring the subject into a solid front stage appearance. To me this comes off a bit soft and a strong sharpening on the shell/flower would also help to separate the bkg from the fore. Nice choice for crop and the waterdrops are a great accent!
