I love the repeating shapes and points of this and the orange backlight illumination which warms the shell against the black background. The light dances on the upper right curves and rims and the patterns are liquid and beautiful. Superb capture, a definite favourite.

Can't tell how small this is. It actually looks huge.

again...not close enough...if you had gotten a picture of the point of the shell on the upper middle to right side of the picture and gotten super close to that 1-2" that would be macro

So that's what a conch looks like lit from the inside... Very creative. Gorgeous colors. The highlight from the right adds depth. HOpe this does well for you. Not voting.
