Sea Shell on Wooden Post

Wonderful details Keith.

Thank you Jaap.

Terrific detail.

Thank you Jean. Appreciated.

Wow, that shellfish has been traveling quite a bit off the beaten path! :D :D

I love the textures in this image, they are just wonderful. Your composition is super too and your dof adds to the wonderful overall texture of this picture. :)

I'm so glad you enjoyed my spider web pictures...definitely among my best so it's a feather in my cap that you are chuffed by them as well! (I forgot to mention in my picture that the spider web circle was only a couple of inches in diameter but yet, as perfect and amazing as the large ones that are so much easier to see. So glad I spotted it.

Your story of the stick for clearing the path every morning...lolol...the images in my mind's eye of what a neighbor might see and think...*rolls around holding my stomach and howling in glee*... that's just so funny, Keith! :D And seriously, if only I could have film of the two times I was most freaked out by spider webs in my face...I would just LOVE to die laughing as I watched the scenes for the 500th time...the incredible volume of my horrified shrieking is truly amazing, and running around like an out-of-control banshee...OMG it's just the funniest thing to think about after the fact. Plus, one incident was when I was about 13, the other when I was about 46...and side by side I think the videos would play just about the same! And even though I hated spiders then and I love them now...I cannot HANDLE the thought of a big spider crawling on me, and it doesn't matter that it wouldn't hurt me. Isn't that the silliest thing? Oh brother. :D

Gotta say, GREAT idea to have a cane there to clear a path. Took care of the heeby-jeebies in such an easy way!

Thanks Janet............for this and every other comment you make on my images.

Ooooh the colours in that shell and the decaying post are wonderful Keith! I am often amazed at how much more we see when we download our photos that we would not otherwise have seen!
A superb shot.

Thanks Rosa............glad you enjoyed it.

The post texture and woodworm holes are absolutely wonderful and somehow the shell looks as though it belongs in that post. a fantastic image that I would probably walked past,
Well seen and well captured !

Thanks Roger. It was my wife that found the shell and put it on the post. Her doing that drew me to look closer................and there you have it!

Superb textural contrast between shell, wood and bokeh! splendid shot!

Glad you liked it Andy...........thank you very much,.

nice one

Thanks Proxar.......appreciated.

What a lovely shot. The colours in the shell are particularly attractive. You (your wife) created some art from nature.

Thank you Colin.

Ein ungewöhnlicher, aber ungemein fotogener Platz für eine Muschel!

Indeed Wilhelm..............thanks to my wife for putting it up there!

The detail in front creates great tension with the bokeh in back -- the photo is grasped immediately.

Thanks for your kind comment John........appreciated.

strange agaric ;-))

"tis indeed........but there were a few varieties around ;-))

An excellent still life, the wood and shell both with half circle details!

I'm pleased that you like it Gudrun...........thank you so much!
