Abalone Shell

I love the iridescent colors in these shells and in this case the water covering gives a nice shine to the surrounding rocks. I really like how the flowing lines complement the shell and the little pebbles.

The colors are wonderful. You did well!

I like the striped rock, the trapped pebbles, and the rainbow colors. The placement of the shell is good. I don't know what was lying just outside the frame, but I would like to see more of the rock patterns. Yummy. When I see one of these shells, I think of one of the tastiest foods around.

Great find, Kathy! I really like the shimmery colors in the shell, the lines in the rock, and the different sizes of pebbles. You did a fine job of putting all of these interesting elements together into a great comp. Because of this all being underwater, it does have a little bit of a cloudy cast so just a slight increase in contrast would possibly allow more of all these great elements to "shine". However. . .it depends on the look you are going for. Wonderful for the theme and a great shot.

Really sparkles! All the interesting elements leads my eye throughout the frame. The shell placement works well because you have a little sand in one of the grooves and then the neat pebbles on the other side. The whole shot is almost abstract. Thank you for sharing.
