WOW. I really liked yesterday's but his is really amaizing. Funny how you can make a pretty good picture with a few simple elements. Love the vivid colors. Great job Paul.

Excellent framing! It's amazing how rich those colours are. Like it's straight out of a cartoon. really nice work here Paul!

Awesome! The little orange fungi sprouting up around him absolutely make the shot. A nice little natural splash of color. :)

When I first sae this one I thought you'd dropped the snail into an aquarium! Awesome colours from the moss spores(?)

Now. If only we could decipher the secret hieroglyphs on the shell..

This is stellar, Paul! How in the world...? Is this a combination exposure? It almost doesn't seem real. The light is fantastic. You really found a great scene here.

Wonderful shot. It's like a miniature world out of a Jim Henson movie.
