Very fine shot: would have been a really interesting leading lines contender. What on earth aperture is this taken at :-) Great DOF, great tone, great subject. Great light. Winner so far
Excellent lighting. There were several shell shots submitted for this challenge but this is definitely my favorite. Nice shadows and good DOF. I like the shallow DOF you used because it gives the shot a 3D feel. Good luck with the challenge!!!
This is the best I have viewed so far. You can see the six very well and it is entirely natural. I like the photograph too. The background and lighting look great to me.
Cool idea!... you could use another light source to brighten up the lower half a bit. i'm not crazy about the border...i would experiment with something a little wider and use a color that would better compliment your shot.
Excellent photo... I love the smooth lighting and the nice contrast in this image... I really like the way the background color matches the color theme of the shell... great work :) = 10 - setzler
