Made a brief stop near a port for some photographs, and noticed that the shells of consumed sunflower seeds strewned along a walkway would make a nice try for this challenge.

Idea of including the feet is merely to show some scale ... to show the "bits and pieces" of those shells.


(GIMP) Levels, curves, B&W conversion, USM.

This is a good shot of bits and pieces. Too bad of all the downvoting thats occuring. The shots I'm seeing in most of the photos here arn't as people percieve them on the forums.

Nice photo, meets the challenge (which was apparently no small feat this time). I like BW photos a lot, but this one would benefit from a bit more contrast. I would love to see those lines between the paving stones really jump out more and make an interesting pattern. Overall, nice shot. 5.
