Oyster Shell by kwind

Oyster Shell

Such a stimulating title, don't you think??? Ha Ha!! I'm a bit brain dead and can't think of anything too profound to call it. We had a swim meet this morning but we managed to get down to the property for a while this afternoon.

Fabulous dof gives you such soft colours tones in the fore and background. It's a really interesting shell, gorgeous greens on it.

Great capture and POV of this pretty oyster, in unusual shape, at least for me.

Awesome dof!!! Very cool shot!

@welcometocarolworld I thought the same thing, Carol. That feature was was one of the things (along with the funky green colour) that really drew me to it.

Fabulous focus, Kim. Is this the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8? Great combination with the D800, looking forward to renting this lens for my D600.

Love this shot! I'm a shell lover since I never see them and really like that little hint of green.
January 27th, 2013  
Fav... I like the focus and the colors. you got the shell to stand out nicely.
January 27th, 2013  
I think title thinking is really hard work and not always possible to come up with the perfect one for the shot. Luckily the title for this says it all and the shot is wonderful xx
January 27th, 2013  
Great composition and DOF.
January 28th, 2013  
I love everything about this -- the colors, composition, DoF, and the fact that you managed to find a shell with so much personality. I can almost feel the ocean breeze. Fav.

January 30th, 2013  
I might show this pic to my students and ask them to think of titles. I did that about last year....it is a good exercise for them. I was thinking "who turned it the lights?" Or " can you leave the door open a crack when you leave." Haha. But I thinking saying "crack the door or window" to say leave it open a bit, is only said around here in Georgia or the south.
January 30th, 2013  
The pic is so beautiful! Love the dof and focus! Fav!
January 30th, 2013  
Really beautiful and well composed.
January 30th, 2013  
@espyetta Let me know what your students come up. They could do a whole creative writing thing from it.
January 30th, 2013  
Love the texture and shape of these shells - nice shot
January 30th, 2013  
@kwind I will keep you posted! Great idea to have them write more than a title!
