Rush Hour

Minolta 200mm macro 
ISO 200, 2 secs @ f32
Most of you know that Bird of Paradise is one of my favorite subjects but I like the leaves as well as the flowers. Spotted this snail blasting around in the early morning rush hour traffic and thought he was a worthy party crasher. All comments welcome. Please view LARGE. >=))>

I laughed when I saw the title of this and I am still chuckling.  Good one!  Nice detail on the snail and the amazing lines in this leaf.  Its a very striking photo.

Bill: the bright greens, patterns and diagonals in the leaf make an interesting photo. They are enhanced by the contrast and shape of your speeding snail. Richard
