The lettering looks a bit blurry...but that could be me.

Not sure where I'm suppose to look here. My eye wandered aimlessly around for a while, unsure if the words or the shells were the subject.

Comment by Swashbuckler:
Well taken shot, good focus, interesting angle, but honestly, I'm not fully thrilled. The pink/red starfish (I know it's dyed) looks unnatural and somewhat out of focus or hard to see clearly. The book cover is GREAT, but I'm thinking that is really your "background", but wait....I see lots of shadows on the book cover. This shot takes a longer than average view to "take it all in". I am certain others spotted this more quickly than me, but I am equally certain many did not look at the details of this shot. (I am finding the sledgehammer approach raises the quality of votes I get!) Very nicely subtle! Your score raises to match. Started at as a 6, but I have talked you up to an 8. Good job! Swash

Nice picture, but the textured elements form too small a part of it.

What a great idea! I love how you really have to look at it, just like the I Spy books! :-)

I don't really understand the intention with this photo... If the starfish in the bottom of the frame is your subject, i would have tried to make it a larger part of the image... = 4 - jmsetzler
