 I was just playing around, trying to do some different lighting effects.

Cropped
Rotated
Levels
Resized
USM
Border

I want desperately to clone out those specks in the bottom left. There are little imperfections in the paper that the shell was resting on, and really lit up the way the light was shining across them.

I must say I'm baffled by the "out of focus" comments.

I like this, however, I like your outtake better. The outtake IMO is more natural (orientation of the shell) and a bit brighter. Plus I like the appearance of sand in the outtake. The lighting on your entry is low and leaves the top back side of the shell a little dark.

The concept is wonderful and I think you have a winning idea here that could do well in print sales. Keep up the good work!

The coloration and lighting looks like the work of Dax. Meets the challenge nicely, but I'd prefer a bit more shadow detail on the shell. 7

The shell is out of focus, the light does not enhance the photo

I think I chose you as one of my favorite photgraphers yesterday. Shots like this justify my decision. Excellent work. 7

Really interesting. I love imaginative ideas such as these. Maybe a touch blurred though. I wonder if you could've gotten the shell tack sharp? I do like the use of negative space and it certainly meets the challenge.
