Wonderful; fav'd. I know you're thrilled (and rightfully so) with your two texture shots, but this is probably my favorite of the challenge that you've done. I like the crop, the use of the almost negative space where the sand is, and the lovely textures and tones. Great stuff. Thanks for hanging in here with us, even given how you have been feeling. I enjoy looking at and thinking about your work!
This is verry interesting in BW
I think I like it even more than in colour
Nice textures
What about croping it a bit from the botom? IN order to have only the shels without the sand???
Very nice. There is such a beautiful range of the different tones on the grayscale. It looks great as a black and white. It's nice and sharp, and the textures add so much interest. Nice job, Shez!
