From my collection
For Macro Mondays- the seashell is 2.3 cm wide/tall. I used a real seashell to make the mold and cast it in silver. The chain links were formed from silver wire, shaped, beaten, soldered & then linked up by more soldering, to form the chain.

Seashell and sisal sponge angle view flashed with UV Torch. Used Nikor telephoto and macro lenses, manual focus.
Finding this flawless Pear Whelk seashell was one of the highlights of the recent shelling adventure at Folly Beach, South Carolina. This particular whelk was still alive so of course there was no keeping him, but capturing this perfection was plenty good enough for me. Once the photo session was over I tossed him back into the water so he could continue his adventure as well. Thanks for visiting! :). -H3
Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing me a song, O Please!
A song of ships, and sailor men,
And parrots, and tropical trees,
Of islands lost in the Spanish Main
Which no man ever may find again,
Of fishes and corals under the waves,
And seahorses stabled in great green caves.
Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing of the things you know so well.
Sea Shell by Amy Lowell

This monochrome photograph showcases a collection of seashells arranged artistically against a dark background. The black and white tones emphasize the textures and patterns of the shells, highlighting their spiraling forms and the intricate lines that trace the growth of each shell.
The shells vary in size and shape, with some featuring elongated spires and others displaying more rounded, compact forms. Their placement in the composition seems intentional, creating a balance between the various shapes and directing the eye across the image. The play of light and shadow is masterfully captured, with the light source coming from the side, casting deep shadows and enhancing the three-dimensional quality of the shells.
The choice of black and white photography strips away the distraction of color, allowing the viewer to focus on the forms, lines, and textures that make each shell unique. The arrangement evokes a sense of natural symmetry and beauty, often found in objects sculpted by the sea. The overall effect is one of elegance and quiet beauty, inviting reflection on the wonders of the natural world.
One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.

Haven't got a clue how the bokeh came out minty green - it was one of those little photographic surprises that happens sometimes. :-))

"Mary whispered strange legends about the golden shell, of how it held every sound and every spellbound secret of the sea"
Mary's Golden Shell is a feature in the Childrens story book "The Sea Swallow" based on the Mythological Coast and the lost forest under the sea at Cleveleys in Lancashire.
