Sea snail

[(Ghastly) Krueger]

Found him crawling on the beach. Must have been 2 cm long.

That's one cool snail! The stones with a shallow DOF are a bit distracting (in number 2) but at 2cm there wasn't much you could have done. I love how you captured his eyes in the second photo. Nice work.

Really, My wife kept it by her the whole week as a pet, she took it down by the rocks on the beach at night and when she came back in the morning it was still there..... craziest thing I've seen in a while

They only come out of the shell when they out grow them. But once in a blue moon when walking on the beach you can find them shell less. The tourist traps shop around here sell them as pets with a bowl for like 25$ and I can go to the beach and get about 100 of them in a matter of 10 mins.

Very nice second photo; would have liked to see the eyes a bit sharper in the first photo but being that close up, it was probably hard to manage handheld...
Nice overall work!

Thanks for your comments.

Thanks. Not to add an excuse, but I had no auto focus, which made focusing on the eyes a bit harder...
