Smiley was overjoyed when he was adopted by his masters Jim and Harriet at a truck stop gift shop in Wichita. He enjoyed all of their adventures going to Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, The Great Smokey Mountains, New Orleans, Miami Beach, and he would never forget crossing the Queensboro bridge and seeing the Empire State Building. Then one day, in Micco Florida, Jim, Harriet and Smiley pulled into a place that had lots of homes like his. They were looking at a big, shiny, new home that the guy must have owned. Then a funny thing happened. Jim and the man shook hands, and the man got into Jim, Harriet and Smiley's home and drove to the back of the place with all the homes. Smiley kept waiting for his masters to return. He waited and waited day after day. Of course, donut dolls are eternal optimists. They don't think they are missing a hole in their middle, but that something will be coming soon to complete them. Their future is so bright they've gotta wear shades. Smiley was sure Jim and Harriet were planning the bestest trip of all. Weeks turned into months and then years, and Smiley's home started getting a bit rusty in the back of the lot of homes, but Smiley keeps looking out the window just knowing that one day Jim and Harriet are going to be coming around the corner, smiling at Smiley and jumping back in for the next big trip. He just wishes it would be soon, because he really misses them.

Great idea for your subject matter! I thought you had lit the shells from behind with a light of some sort. Really cool image.

I think this works. When I first looked at it I didn't realize it was negative. And it made me look twice. Nicely done. Interesting.
