Very cool! Simple and minimalistic. The eye has nowhere to go but to the center of the spiral.

this would make for a great macro puzzle...not to mention a great canvas print...

OK - I'm going out on a limb here and letting you know that I scored this a '1'. Only fair to let you know why.

First of all I should say that I use the full scale and that I am but one voter with my own expectations and 'luggage'.

I should begin by admitting my prejudices - I'm not a fan of image of objects; I can be persuaded if they are exquisitely executed like much of h2's work but otherwise it is always going to be a hard sell to me.

Here although, the object is pretty - it is really difficult to bring something to the table as a photographer. Macro technique limits the choices you have with the depth of field and with the flat lighting and vanilla processing, it doesn't communicate a sense of you having made any artistic choices.

For me, as a viewer, I like to see some photographic intent, some artistic license - I think that it what is lacking with this image. I hope that makes sense and offers some rationale for a '1' score.

Coming back to add to this. I should've also said that this is of course technically competent; the fact that it is a mismatch for my expectations shouldn't be enough of a reason for me to dish out a 1. Bumping it a bit.

Neat effect. If the title wouldn't have said "shell" I would have never guessed what it was.
