This seashell photo is my first submission to DPChallenge and I'm still not entirely clear about how much editing is allowed, so I tried to keep it to a minimum. I rotated the photo about 35 degrees, applied a curves adjustment, a hue/saturation adjustment, cropped, reduced the size, added a border and sharpened.

A cousin to the nautillus - and a great find. I like the placement in the frame and the lighting. To improve it a) remove the carrot colored and shape on the right side, b) remove the white line in the border - ending only with a thin black line. The colors and the blurriness of the background work well to contrast the shell.
Nice! I might have focused a little tighter on shell, because the space around it seems to make the composition less complex, but it's a great image nonetheless. Good and sharp focus, nice contrast between the foreground and background.
