Thanks for the input everyone. Thubleau... this is the original image, uncropped. I do have a closeup version as well, which is actually my favourite, but as this challenge is 'minimalism', this one suits the challenge better. Cheers - Tracy
Reminds me of the time a bought a shell from Vancouver home in my luggage and got special treatment from customs.
I know this is a rather small piece of a larger photo or at least it seems that way.
Maybe getting a clearer shot of the shell and letting it consume more of the actual frame would have given more impact.
