Cropping out the black would have made this a winner

You might think I'm crazy here, but the symmetry of the shell almost dictates a symmetry of shot. You've got the cropping right, but the shell is placed asymmetrically within it. A slight twist to the right and you've got a perfect star, a perfect shell, perfect coloring and perfect cropping.

i like that you used radial symmetry here, which is usually hard to portray.

I like the clearness and the expression of the pattern, but the black background just isn't right to me.

Aaah that's a nice histogram! You made a good subset of people feel something - which, IMO, is often more satisfying than making something so technically adept that voters can't justify giving a low score. I would be very happy if any of the scads of (unintentionally) blurry swan shots I've taken came out like this! This looks amazing from a distance - truly impressionistic. Kudos!
