Took this shot at the beach of some sand dollars that we gathered. I put them near the shore break and kind of let the water move them around a little bit. I hope some people like the shot

I don't know what the original of this looks like, but it would make a great minimalism photo if there were more vertical dead space above the sand dollars.
This is a fantastic idea! I would have liked a little more detail in the sand and less blowout on the sand dollards. But overally, the idea and picture is great. -8-
Great title. Wonderful black & white image. I love its simplicity and the tone range is excellent. Lighting looks great - not sure if its all natural or augmented but it works well. I wish the focus was uniform throughout and the image seems a bit oversharpened to me. Still its a wonderful photograph. 7
I have a thing for sand dollars. With advanced editing, I think I would have burned the lines on the sand dollars to really give them more character and detail. I like the composition though.
