Nancy, Hello & welcome! I like the comp and the idea for this very much, though I find myself wanting more of the shell in focus. Thankyou for sharing!

Interesting take on this shell, Nancy. The traditionalist in me wishes the shell center was the point of focus, but I think this works as an abstract of swirling colors.

I like the color and pattern, but I agree with Tonia that more of the shell needs to be in focus

I like the overall closeup comp, with the center of the swirl well placed in the frame Nancy.
If shooting inside near a window, I suggest a north facing one and shoot mid-morning if possible.
Don't know if you used AF or manual focus, but for very close shots like this I recommend manual always.
Here I would've made my point of focus the center of the swirl, and tried for more depth of field.
Welcome to NPN & have a great weekend

Hi Nancy This has an dreamy abstract feel to it, I think an Ocean shell would look better with a sharper focus.
