Theme 354 - Beach




Sea Shell

This beautiful piece of nature was given to me a couple of days ago by a friend and artist (painter). I considered putting it under the theme "Jagged" and whilst it fit, it sounded far too sharp and ugly for this.

I think I had the most fun shooting this than anything I have done before. So many angles, so many shots!!! It was very difficult to choose just one.

Of course, shells are found on the beach!

Linda, that is a lovely shot. I can see it framed as a triptych with a shot from another angle and a close up.

Oh, what a good idea - excellent in fact.

I have now updated the photo - thanks for the reminder about Lightroom, used a preset "Fried Eggs" and a WOW Vignette

The new version is even more excellent! Fried Eggs is a favorite of mine too...

Nice choice of angle Linda. I like the DOF effect.

I didn't look past your "rubbish" picture yesterday. I now see you have more. I love this photo and the effect you gave it. Grammom
