I spent about an hour trying to process a colour version of this shot, but there's something about the quality of light at this time of year that's very difficult to capture – almost as though it was warm and cold at the same time. Anyway, in the end I gave up trying and switched to monochrome as I really couldn't come up with a colour version I was happy with. Also, I think this shot might have been better if I'd used a slightly smaller aperture as more of the shell would have been in focus. That said, one of the things I really like about this one is the shallow depth of field – almost as though the shell has left a trail in the sand. Ho hum, decisions, decisions ;-) Anyway, I'm reasonably pleased with it, but as always, do let me know what you think.
