Interesting composition. It looks like the slug is climbing stairs made of flowers. I also think it funny that your shutter speed (1/2sec) was king of...umm....sluggish! :biggrin:

Thanks for the nice comments. And, of course, for this having been chosen for the WP's. I've been a little too busy with other things this past week and just realized. Thanks again.
