Black and white macro photo of a snail shell on a black background. The snail shell has long been an example of the perfection and symmetry of nature.

I love shells, and sea life....so why not take a pic with a shell

Noordersingel, Delfzijl, The Netherlands

Hawaiian shells in a canoe fashioned from a palm tree petiole.

A simple black and white image of a shel that we got whilst in Vietnam.

All my images are available in hi-res without stamps or borders.

This whitetip reef shark is resting under a coral ledge. In the background you can see the shell of a green sea turtle that is also sleeping in the same small space.

I made this a almost a year ago for a "Star" theme but never posted it. It's a composite of a starfish shell and the rings from my "Log" sculpture of sorts that I used this past week for the Macro Mondays group. With "Shell" as the theme this week for the Smile On Saturday group it gets another chance. I hope it makes you smile.

Shell, taken under skylight with black cardboard behind. I like the colours.

When I see a bunch of shells on the beach, I want to hoard them like a pirate. At some point in history, these were money.

This photo is reprocessed from an earlier version here. (justenoughfocus.smugmug.com/Portfolio/Full/i-MVVZNj3) The tools for post-processing are continually being updated, so lately I've been having a little fun going back to old photos to tease out a new look. I don't recall what tools I used back in 2015, but this time, I used the latest version of Skylum's Luminar.

Nevertheless, what got my attention in this scene is all of the shells in the foreground; they must have been deposited after a storm. You can go to a store and buy a bag of shells for ten bucks, or you could just go to the beach and pick them up yourself. Better yet, send me the money, and I'll get them for you! (just kidding)
