I never knew

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Rel
You have stumbled onto a subject that needs further refinement for a brilliant series! The colours and shapes are amazing. Clean up the water....get some on sheets of glass....do a series for a magazine and or an exhibtion as they fascinate! Large framed prints would be stunning.
Regards

The second last one for me, the star shaped tail (?) has me amazed.

How long can they stay under water for Rel?

Thanks :)
Geoff - the colours in the second one are pretty cool huh? The weird thing is these guys actually move pretty quickly - well for a snail anyway ;)
Matt - I will have to do some more, even if it's only to get some clear shots without all the crap in the water :) I doubt anyone else would be interested in the shots though - just for me :)
Mark - I have no idea about water snail biology - I'll ask the snail expert at work tomorrow and find out about them, a name would be good too ;) LOL
Bernie - really really small snack !!! LOL

Oh they are pretty aren't they! Fantastic images there though Rel.. well worth laying on your stomach for if you ask me.. and never mind your neighbours..mine are still in therapy after I forgot that I lived on a main road and I found myself very early one morning chasing a butterfly on the footpath... wearing only a towel.. lol.. :cry:
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)
