Shells placed on blue tagboard near sunny window with curtains drawn; macro setting on camera, used white Playdough to fix small shell to larger shell (it shows but I like the illusion of a live snail); image was sized for DPC then lightly sharpened

Absolutely spectacular shot! This couldn't be any sharper and the lighting is perfect. Love the natural rich color tones and the blue background was a very good choice. Excellent work.
7 - Nice and simple. Criticism; would like to see a little more detail in the texture, perhaps a touch more contrast and the 'base/background' a touch less defined. Technically, while no 'expert', placement is pretty good, but I would like to see it somehow even stricter, especially for the Challenge. It is the seemingly 'natural find' of this little shell in/on the bigger one that you are capturing, that I first liked about this shot. The shadow is nice too. edit:typo
Pretty. The blue and brown turns work as nice contrast to each other. The lines on the table other than the shadow are a tad distracting but the clarity of the shells makes up for it.
