step 6 of 8
I duplicated the background and modified the strength of the colours and contrast using items from the PSH image drop down menu. Selected the cutout of the snail against the blue background and then worked within that space to delete the background using the "layer Mask.
You can see the difference on the main page.
step 7 of 8
Here the Background was duplicated again and the mask dragged into that layer. The snail is not fully developed so I used masking and the brush to allow the body/shell to show through.
Layer 2 in the image is the extra "web" I also used the Warp to alter the shape of the snail more & intensified its colour for interest.
