Cool shot and processing. I thought this a skeletal structure of some sort from the thumbnail; must be an interestingn sea shell!

Good idea, Nico, and nicely done. Your view on the shell and the b&w explore the structure nicely. Oh, and I do like "Sea Shell" more than "Greyscale Found Abstract Structure" :-) -Michael

This is very nice Nico. I like the composition, the focus on the spines and the b/w conversion. I was thinking of doing a shell but after I saw how nice yours was, I decided not to! CJ

Well seen structure, Nico! And beautifully photographed, too! ~Sharon

It is a nice abstraction.

Thanks for the comment, Mikey.

:-) I nearly did use the same type of title as in an earlier challenge. I wanted to call it "Greyscale Found Abstract Structure". But the previous time I did that Michael Puff threatened me with "you are gonna get payback", so I thought I'd better not tempt fate by trying such a title again! :-) :-

I have some more shells to photograph, so perhaps something more colourful comes along during the next days... Regards ~jnconradie

Cool shot, Nico! Would have been good for the Found Abstract challenge, as well. The many faces of Nature, eh? -mikey
