“At night in the beer garden”

New species of snail discovered. A new subspecies of the vineyard snail has appeared in Germany. The beer snail. Researchers suspect that these snails survived from beer traps. Beer traps are a widely used trap for removing snails from gardens. But some snails have survived these traps and come to love beer. Now this new species is mainly found in beer gardens. We recently received a photo from a photographer who fell asleep in the beer garden. When he woke up late in the evening, he was amazed to see snails feasting on the remains of his beer. Fortunately, he had his camera with him.

Update:
These snails are already known in some beer gardens. These are said to go very well with beer when fried and are a delicacy in some places. Animal rights activists are sounding the alarm and feared extinction and have gone to court. They target a hunting ban for the autumn, where the main breeding time is.

Pure, cycles, rendertime ~21 min., 2048 samples, open denoiser, all made in blender, used an hdri image from hdrihaven. Cant get rid of the noise, even with NLM but open denoiser makes a better job. Did a white balance in gimp. My first render with a complete different format and camera focal.
