Oh, this is a very funny one Natalia and it would fit in under humourus too - actually better I think ;-).

Technically you have burned the shell of the snail a little, but it is not what it is all about here. The situation is very well seen and it shows your skill for taking the picture at the right time and sendig a message. Very well seen and excellent job - thanks for sharing.

ha - very nice. Aside from reducing the exposure, you could also use a tripod - it would make a big difference to the detail here. Composition's very good indeed.

this is really witty. I agree with all above on the critques, and I did a w/s to see if we could reduce the burned shell. It was really burned so I tried to see if I could build the shell up. I think it worked to some extent. I don't know if it did to display quality, but I thought I would give it a try.

I dodged the shell a bunch, and then clone stamped the shell to "build" more color in it.

I cropped it to give it the feel that the snail was winning that race.

I also did a graduated blur to give the impression of a DOF.
