I must admit I scored this too low during the challenge - I gave it a 4. Upon further reflection, I really like the composition and see more of what you were going for (I think). The interrupted zoom focus is an interesting choice to emphasize the subject matter and pattern. Still, I would have liked to see it with a brighter background - I think the hard dark gray is a distraction from the soft pastels of the shells. Today, I'd give it a 6. :-)
This was one of the first on my monitor when I started voting, and I thought, wow, I wonder if the standard will be this high. Well, there are many good ones, but you are still there on my top 3 list for this challenge. I really like it. It has a good feel, colours are good, nice crop and balance. They seem to be whispering to each other. Well done, hope you score well.
