| Very interesting shot, I think it didn't do better just because it lacks the "wow" factor that Dpcers need. |

At first glance the viewer is tricked into thinking this is astro photography. The shell can easily pass for the moon to anyone not looking deep into the image. Though perspective wise it appears a touch far away from the planet, and the trail behind it seems out of place.
I really enjoy the concept of using salt for stars and the shell/s. However the earth looks completely out of place, almost too perfect in aspect of smoothness. Also the bright spot in the center of the planet does not match the lighting exactly to the shell. Don't get me wrong it is extremely close but just a bit off.
However, because of the angle of the light/shadow on the planet and the position of the shell/moon the shell would actually be cast in shadow. From a size/placement perspective.
Overall also The planet appears to be a bit darker than one would imagine with the clouds being a bit more yellow than I would imagine as well. Now I am not running to look up reference images from satellites and shuttles, but from memory it just feels a bit off to be the earth.
It is a very clever image and fits the title, yet just does not push the bounds enough for me. I think one thing that throws me off is (having read your comments) that the planet is a picture? Granted I know this could not be captured like this. yet, I wonder if a replica could have been used instead of a picture, that way the lighting scheme could have a better flow.
There are marks for creativity and unique use of props.

| Very cool picture. Definitely made me do a double take, and I'll have to check back after voting to see if you explained the parts i haven't figured out. VERY creative! |

| Interesting photo. The earth looks a bit on the dark side and the seashell light is unique. Title fits the image. I'll be curious to read your setup on this image. |

| Very cute idea. Is it a marble? I noticed the shell right away, but I'm so smart I thought it was the earth for a bit... :oP |
