This is one of my many out takes from the movement challenge. I was going to do a time exposure of a snail moving along the wall, however snails REALLY do go slow...TOO slowly! Comments welcomed however this is just to show what I didn't submit :).

Get closer and fill the frame. Oh...and don't discount neat and in the middle. I see you are becoming a believer and leaving the rule of thirds mob. :D :D

I try Matt, I try.
The little bastard snail went every way I didn't want him to go that night - in between the rainfall :) hehe.

fill the frame, and maybe a little to the left so your friend is moving into the centre........

Geoff-superglue, not salt :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

I agree with Matt about filling the frame, there is good color and detail

The things we do to get that shot :roll:

In Macro Geoff, these can be very frustrating fast suckers.

You certainly have more patience than me :) i would have been bored with it in two seconds flat. I like the saturation level you have used. it adds some nice depth to the image.

Good idea for the movement challenge - i can taste the irony. But shame it was so difficult to execute.
