This is very pretty. I can smell the ocean and feel the warmth of the sun (all the way from Massachusetts!). I like the subtle colors. I added it to my favorites.

Beautiful post. I love the texture and colors, excellent.

Yes I agree, the colors really are lovely. I've been to south west Florida and what a miracle all those mounds of shells there are on the beachs. I'm from Canada and was very happy to dig around in those beautiful piles and go swimming in November (Marco Island, Sarasota, Tampa Bay area). I honestly did have some funny looks from people when they saw how white my skin was on the beach, I told them that where I come from the white is on the ground, plenty of snow by that time (at least a foot). I recieved a few wows, and a then little understanding of my swimming white skinned in November (LOL)....................................LPF

Very nice composition, I think it might be nicer a little lighter and with a slight color tweak to take some of the blue out of the lighter areas of the shells. Gorgeous colors to those shells, thanks for sharing!
