Sundial Dreams - Morning Glory. . .

...for ^shell4art for her wonderful works in keeping the community together here in deviantArt, and for her kind spirits and loving nature. Shell, much love.

Beauty in Mother Nature couldn't be more stunning than everything there is in its own natural scenic charm...

Going to work to beat the horrid KL jam one morning, I stumbled upon this shell by the poolside of my condo and decided to take the shot around 7am after a slight drizzle.

...if only my coffee kicked in I would've thought of taking the shell as a souvenir home. Gah! Why didn't I?

You're the 1st to feel how i felt when i saw this shell there by itself... Capturing emotion from something once full of life is something i like to toy with.. but after seeing the pic myself, i couldnt help but feel for it too......

Thanks for the too, sweetie..... ...and the lovely comment! Will cherish it!

a little on the grainy side, but a lovely shot. a bit more sharper focus on the shell would be nice, but the cool blue tones work really well

Gorgeous shot, the grain is great!

The composition is technically "off" yet in this picture the composition is spot on, great shot!

what im saying is technically according to the suggested rules ie rule of thirds, its not correct, yet the composition breaks the rule but for the better, good job!

So gorgeous...it really does look like it's before sunrise! Ooh, and the blue ground really makes it look so ethereal - that would be such a cool photo, if it was just that one shell on a dark beach! I know that would be impossible, but

*gasp* You can't take shells home! O_O You have to leave them for the poor ickle hermit crabs!

evanhwong In reply to mango-boi-kuraigu [2005-05-03 06:04:22 +0000 UTC]

Er... u'r saying as though i manipulated the pic...

Ethereal... woo-hooo! Thank you so much! Like that word!! But heck.. the shell's by the poolside... and the only hermit nearby is some homeless chap sitting by the drain outside the perimeter of my condo...
