8 - Oh, very nice. Aren't you fortunate to find (presumption) an urchin shaped like this. Nice texture, especially in the sand. My two minor nit-picks would be the image (especially because of the water) seems like it needs a fraction nudge up on the left, and the slope of the dune tapering into the top right corner - either more 'exact' (the 'edge going out' of the corner), or else more included, not sure.
The shot for me would have been better without the sea critter or whatever it is. The texture of the sand and relatively shallow depth of field make for a better picture by them selves in my opinion.
I love this shot! It makes me feel like taking a holiday! Excellent exposure and I love the way you have brought out the texture in the sand as well as the urchin. (It is an urchin, isn't it?) You know what I mean :-) Well done!
Mmm... this takes me away from the snowy landscape outside my window. I really like the muted colors against the light blue sky, the differing textures, and the composition.
Beautiful image! Perfect for this theme. Great lateral/back lighting--I love how it hits the shell and projects a shadow toward the bottom left corner of the photo. I played in my head with how the image would look like without the plants and sea in the background, and I completely agree with your choice--the bokeh in the background adds to the image. Congratulations!
Nice idea..If the shot was a bit taller and the ball was in lower right quadrant it would be better IMHO. As it is the ball is too centered vertically.
