I came up with this idea on the last day of the challenge.
I taped an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of printer paper to my home office computer desk. I then traced a 1 cm dot-grid across the page on which I placed the tiny seashells, thus hiding the dots. The larger central seashell rests on a $2 CDN coin, a Toonie. This was done to give an idea of scale.
I would have liked greater depth of field but I could only reach f11 with my camera in macro mode.

I like what you're saying, but I think the point would have still been made without the coin. I feel that the coin interupts the repetition of the shells.
this shot really appeals to me but I'm finding it difficult to express why I like it. The textures in the shells, repetition and shadows all work nicely. I like the coin for scale. I've come back to it several times hoping something else about it would pop into my mind, but it hasn't so you just get my congrats and I leave this shot frsutarted at my lack of ability to put together a coherent critique. :)
