Snail on Bark

By perseverance the snail reached the ark.

Very tired and could not, for the life of me, come up with a better title.

Favourite Shot (Yesterday): Boy
Photo Editing: Holga Simulator Action (had no effect), Selective Colouring, Curves, Color Balance in Photoshop.

Excellent shot - for a title you could work on the Spurgeon, e.g. By perseverance the snail reached the bark smile

Nice texture, a beautiful black and white... that's perfect !!! 20/20 ! A very artistic composition.

I'd have loved the shot even without the snail Master, the toning of the bark is lovely. Malwalker

I really like the texture and the tone of this shot, it really brings out the snail. Very nicely done and a very good find. I think the title is very fitting.
Samarth: Thanks a lot joe...

why, no time for commenting back??
Its nice n beautiful.
Points - 6.5/10
Samarth: thx deepak....
Mmmmm don't see the Holga effect I must say and you know how I feel about selective colour. Shall we say that you are capable of much much better Samarth. On the plus side you know that I respect you for for constantly pushing yourself....get some sleep! Phil

Nice detail in the bark, and the snail is great too.

The poor thing has got a long way to go to get to the top of the picture!
