Hi

A pleasing composition that uses the lines of leaf and Mr snail well within the frame - I like it!

The only aspect that does not really come across that well in this image - the subjects size, for that I think you need to include a common reference; which is not a crit of this image by any means btw, just an observation

All the best
Matthew

Great idea Matthew, and awesome that you took your time to share it and help me to improve, I really appreciate that and as usual I am taking notes. BTW the site of this wolf snail was something close to 8 inches from tip to tip. Once again thanks for your amazing feedback!

Love the choice of DOF. Makes one feel like the snail is crawling into the picture along the yellow line.
