Description

Got up this morning and saw the morning light on my favorite shell… the lines and tone spoke to me so i took a few shots. kind of a personal shot. I just love the simplicity with a sharp and softness vibe…

Specific Feedback

maybe more center…

Technical Details

Gill, this does have the old B&W film look to it. The black BG brings all the attention to the shell with all the shapes, lines, and shadows. I’m wondering if cropping a little off the right side, making it more of a square and evening up the amount between the shell and the edge would improve it? Just a thought. I know that the rest of the conk shell is in that direction, but it isn’t visible. Nice B&W.

Thanks. I shot it with natural light where as the light did the cropping for me. I felt the small part of the Shell was the strongest part of the photo so I kept it to the left. The eyes then drift to the right and into void and question. The older I get the simpler I get with my photography and music.

Thanks for showing interest
