1st Place win
Featured in PhotoFlash #24
11/20/04 Details & Macro

I was holding one of my conch shells up to the sunlight coming through the window and was surprised by the color. The shell practically glowed. The pattern is from a sea fan which I placed inside the conch shell.

  What a great texture photo Sharon. It stands on it's own, but you should load it in PS in the texturizer too! I bet you'd get some great results!
