Usually snails cry out to be shot in macro to show the Golden Spiral.           ;)

While I did have my macro lens with me both times, the last shot was taken with me above the stream with my legs stretched at the max and the snail almost below me. It was very difficult to get the damn framing as I wanted, even after 10+ shots I still didn't get exactly what I wanted (this is where a tiltable screen would have been gold).
In the first one I wanted to keep the snail in context.
