Nice one!

I feel that the shell needs some transparency/sss, and the snail body could use more also.

+ some more sunlight the rock is throwing shadow on the snail body

nice image though!

thank you Bubbaloo
not all shells have transpancy ; i find many photos of shells with different effects

for snail body the lighting give me this result ; with different lighting i get more transparent material

thank you
maxwell calculate the shadow , what you mean with :the rock is throwing shadow on the snail body?
for the light of sun its not always the same intensity

i just meant that the sss is not visible because photons entering the medium/snail body are too weak/diffuse
direct sunlight, as on the left eye, reveals it, as your test image shows.

yes and we can see a little sun light touch the eye of snail and the sss effect is visible

I guess he means that if you put the snail at the higher part of the rock, the light will hit the snail making it stand out and also showing the sss effects. It would be a more cinematographic and dramatic shot; like at The Lion King but with a snail... The Snail King, hehe :



Maybe that was not your intention though.

I like the mood. Very nice.
