Urchins revisited

One of the first pics I uploaded here was of some sea-urchin shells. Scanned from a print, it was a little grainy. So as I was back in Charlestown yesterday and the sun was shining on the shells again I took another shot. I hope you like this one too.

Wow, I didn't even know sea urchins came in those colors. At first I thought they were some kind of christmas ornament :)

Wonderful detail - very crisp. Makes a great desktop! I didn't know that sea urchins had shells - thought they had needles...

Thank you too, BJ and Teresa. You're right about the needles or spines, Teresa, but underneath them are these attractive shells.

Don't have time to look at everything in your gallery tonight, but scanning a lot of tempting thumbnails, this one really stood out. And not a disappointment when I blew it up. Great form, texture and colors, sharp as a tack, you completely filled the frame, and there's wonderful DOF; all go together to make this a winner.
