The Metal Snail

Macro Monday

Theme: Made Of Metal

Size: Less than 3x3 inches

 

I cut off a piece of an Aluminium foil pan and rolled it up.

 

I placed it on a mirror and use a thumb tack to represent its eye horn.

 

The yellow background is a plastic bag. A trail of water to represent the snail's slime complete the picture.

 

Natural light through the window and an LED torch light at 4 o'clock.

 

Aluminum foil is 98.5% aluminum with the balance primarily from iron and silicon to give strength and puncture resistance.

 

The molten alloy is rolled thin and solidified between large, water-cooled chill rollers.

 

Many thanks for your visit, comments and faves...it is always appreciated.
