Beautiful diffused lighting. I love the soft portrait effect on the flower with masking the snail of vise-versa.I mean perfect editing. Thanks for sharing.

Location
I took this photo in the garden outside my office.Time
It was close to 6pm and my colleagues were leaving to go home and I was putting my laptop bag and camera in my car when I noticed the snail.Lighting
The lighting was just enough to get the shot as the sun had just gone down past the trees and the wall surrounding the office.Equipment
Canon 70D + Super Takumar 50mm f1.4, hand-heldInspiration
I love nature photography and when I saw the snail, I grabbed the opportunity to shoot it before it disappeared into the garden somewhere.Editing
I edited the image in Photoshop to brighten the image slightly, to increase the contrast and to enhance the sharpness.In my camera bag
Canon 70D, Canon 28mm f1.8, 50mm f1.8, 85mm f1.8, Super Takumar 50mm f1.4, Helios 58mm f2, Carl Zeiss Sonnar MC 135mm f3.5Feedback
The advice I'd give is to always keep our eyes open to everything around us. Magical moments are happening right around us but we sometimes miss it.
