I love the composition of this. It's very simple and beautiful.

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.

Delightful!
Membergood_ham

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!

Very nice. Great texture, not too busy, straightforward. Gotta go high.

Interesting textures.

Love it! Depth of field is perfect - lighting is perfect - bags of texture!

clean, nice subject placement, although it does feel intentionally placed instead of natural.

Now THIS is texture! Great shot, love how you use the ehrrmmm thingy.

Wonderful. Sharp detail where we want it and the background gives us context without being distracting. Great control of your focus.

Registered UserJaviZ
 Canon EOS-40D 		12/27/2007 09:23:24 AM
Good idea! But perhaps you will get a better composition cropping some sand at the bottom part and including a bit more flora at the upper part.

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!

This is really nice, I love the framing of the shadow.

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.
