This begins a series of still life seashore photos. I am experimenting with different ideas, so I hope you'll share with me critique and comments, and any ideas. This is a Moon Snail, which a friend of mine got when he was scuba diving at Puget Sound, Wa. and there is a small Sea Star with it. The little shell on the Moon Snail is a Limpit. The sand is real sand from an Oregon Beach. Thanx so much for taking a look.

Looks good and remember you don't have to use a fast shutter speed for snails. :)
Nice still life shot Verena.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
