Plenty of shells were on the beach but I was looking for a lone shell in the sand. The day was bright but I ended up getting the shell as the focal point of the image.

Thanks for everyone's comments good or bad. I felt this was a mid pack winner and it was. Hats off to the winners and everyone else who participated as it is always fun to see what everyone's idea of a good photo is.
That really looks like The Shell gasoline shell, do a series of these with slogans of engine cleaning properties and talk to me later. Sincerely, Exxon gas
Coming back for comment, I do like this image a lot, it's always so nice to see natural movement of sand and the patterns are truly beautiful, nice touch with the shell, makes it all the more minimalist...
This is a very neat picture for this challenge. The bright gold shell against the gray sand definitely stands out in a strong way and gives it a minimalist feel.
