This will be my posting for the current Patterns in Nature contest. The Nautilus Seashell is so beautiful. This photo hasn't been touched up in any way, this is the natural colour of it. I just zoomed in on the shell and...click! This is a cutaway of the shell, so the inside can be seen. I took this photo a while back, I've been experimenting with seashell photos lately, so you might see more of them soon. Thanx so much for taking a look. And any comments are always welcomed.

Beautiful! It reminds me of a fractal but even better Verena! Good luck!

Fantastic entry...until you change your mind again. LOL. Gorgeous close up shot of the shell. At first, I thought it was a manipulation.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
An excellent choice with these curvaceous patterns and pearly colors. Very nice close up perspective. Saved.

Can't beat the original colors! I find the shortened spiral (center left) to be fascinating. The spirals clearly form from the interior, and so one wonders what caused that rib to be that way.

What a great entry Verena - I at first thought it was a fractal but when I opened the large version you could see the beautiful depth of color only nature can make. Kudos on a great shot.

I was browsing the contest entries and just had to stop and have a closer look at this one. An outstanding close up Verena! It is a very beautiful shell.

Congrat's on your 5th place finish in the contest Verena. You do very well in the contests. I knew it was a winner when you entered it.

Comment unto one another as you would have them comment unto you. If you like comments, you need to comment some yourself.
Wonderful shot V. Congratulations on placing in the contest. I'm sure the judges had a tough time deciding - all five top entries were great. I really like your angle on this. Nice job. anne =D

Critiquing art of any kind is utterly subjective. When I vote on your images, I look at several things. First, my initial gut reaction. Then, is it straight (if it should be); is the color correct or if intentionally saturated or desaturated, was it done properly and does it enhance the image; composition - if you intended a bulls-eye, unless it's an outstanding image that is really served by centering the subject, it'll get dinged; is the horizon dead center - again, unless there's an obvious reason that makes it a better photo, no points; is the subject interesting and uncluttered; is the image sharp; is the depth of field right for this composition, is there a catchlight in the creature's eye; would I hang this on my wall; is it an image I'd be proud to display; is it artistic or just a snapshot; does it move me; is there a message conveyed; is it documentary in nature and if so, does it tell the story in such a way it makes me want more. When I critique a photo in your gallery, I'm only suggesting what my subjective nature prefers. No need to defend your position if you like your image the way it is. If you give me constructive criticism on my pieces, I guarantee you I will take them to heart. I love to improve! Bring it on Caedians! Love, anne =D
Congrats on your placement in the contest Verena! You sure had a beauty!

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Verena - Congratulations on being recognized among the top five in the contest. When the contest topic was announced, it was a cutaway image of the nautilus shell that first came to my mind. I am glad it came to your mind as well, proving either I'm not crazy or we both are. ;-) Thad
