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

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

Comment by JaviZ:
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!
