two slightly different versions of the same 'subject' (can you call a shell a subject:shrug: )

any c&c always welcome:)

Very interesting shots - def prefer the sepia snail, I think the DOF is a bit too shallow on the b&w one. Nice composition and lighting on the green bug :thumbs:

Cheers Grendel, i went for a shallow dof on the first, hoping it would accentuate the start of the spiral - maybe overdid it though:thinking:

The shell shot is unusual and I like it. I much prefer the 1st (shallow DOF) shot.

cheers Rick, the 1st one is my fave, but what do i know:D

I like the shallow dof in #1 also as I agree it accentuates the spiral.
