Watched by a seashell

Maybe I am paranoid, but as I was walking down the beach, I felt that I was being watched. I looked down at a pile of seashells and sure enough, I was being watched - by a sea shell!

I purposefully used a narrow DOV in that I wanted to focus on the part of the seashell that I found interesting - something that appeared to be an eye!

I like the shell design, which is emphasized by the light and your pof, Sandy.

Thanks Scott, I was pleased to capture it that way considering the rather harsh lighting situation and I was shooting with no filters. I was really taken aback when I discovered it in that with the zillions of shells I have seen, I've never had one look back at me (especially one with no creature inside)! :smile:
