22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A Snail on a Textured Wall

A small snail slowly crawls across a textured wall, its tiny form standing out against the rough surface. The wall’s intricate, wavy patterns contrast with the snail's smooth, spiral shell, creating a striking and delicate scene. The image highlights the contrast between the large, coarse texture of the wall and the snail’s small, fragile presence.
