PS- That is an interesting snail ... I haven't seen that species out here.


Thank you! 

 On the topic of the snail, I have not seen this type before either.  He was extremely tiny. That’s x2.5 magnification or greater. Usually it’s these little guys I find. I have several shots of these. This is also handheld directional light.

The snail with the leaf background is so impressive. The lighting is just right the details are so crisp. Like it a lot.
