First of all I wanted to focus on the oxymoron between the slowness and the speed of a snail, or else on a fast snail. As you can see the subject is a snail indeed, but here it seems just like a rocket blasted at full speed, eating up miles in a few seconds, miles of the world that it could never touch so easily. What mostly fascinates and strikes is this unusual view, something that attracts because it is not possible in reality. With regard to the composition I can say that I used the long exposure, but it’s the diagonal formed by the snail that creates this effect of dynamism that emphasizes the speed itself, as well as quickness and speed of movement.
With a little bit of irony I can say that I am very fond of this snail to which I “souped up the engine.”
