These two images of a set of three show the advantage of taking more than one image of a subject and taking your time to consider the composition you are looking for.
After finding this Norris's Topsnail eating away at the kelp (which was flapping in the surge), I first wanted to make sure I got a nicely composed image (frst image). Then I considered some new angles and saw that you could see the undeside of the Snail through the damage the snail had caused the kelp while eating it (second image)
So there two images of the same snail show two different things. The first one shows the Snail well with good composition and color, while the second shows some interesting feeding activity for the snail and the results of this feeding on the Kelp.
This is a Norris's Topsnail at night happily eating away at a leaf on a Giant Kelp strand.
Enjoy,
