White Spiral

Comment by raish:
There's a sort of genre to white (pale) on white photographs, in which the foreground object needs to be sharp and the background needs to be clean. (My entry doesn't comply with any of this, NB). This gets very close to it. I'd agree with a few comments that would have the shell a bit sharper, etc, etc, but the subject and composition are really good. I gave it 7.

Comment by posthumous:
I gave this a 6, which was pretty high in this challenge. It has lovely curves and I like how it blends into the white (but that blending probably cost you with other voters). I didn't vote it higher because I'm shell-shocked. :) I see so many of these shell photos, but yours is one of the better ones. Your composition isn't bad, but it doesn't add interest, either.

I gave this a 7. I really like the composition and the vignetting. I agree with the other comments that sharper focus would improve this image.

wonderful lighting - elegantly composed - daring to do this in B&W but you've made it work

Really good composition and colors in this shot. My preference would lean towards sharpening this image more though, but that's only my preference. Good entry!

I think getting a little close in to the subject would have made for much better shot... lol jk. Love the reflection! I think cropping a little tighter on the left would have been nice to balance the subject more. 5

Great capture. meets challenge well. The head seems to blend into the brush a little too much. Wish it stood out a little better. 7
