Franziska, I finally figured out exactly what this is. We went to Vancouver Island, and found sea-glass on the beaches. It looks just like in your beautiful picture: beautiful, milky colours, textured like sand, soft edges.
Just to let you know, I ordered a print of this and it's positively beautiful. Even my husband was impressed and he usually doesn't go for the more abstract stuff I tend to like. Gorgeous colors and textures.
Beautiful shot! almost alien like with the semi-opaque rocks and bright white background, great job. so far a 10, but an 8 because i dont think there much chaotic about this.
Love the illuminated background. This picture doesn't really say chaos to me, it seems like a jumble of rocks. But it is a bueatiful jumble of rocks! :)
