it instantly transports me to seaside with sea caves and lava rocks.. (not the cliche sand beach). there is a certain beauty to it.
i wud however prefer if u balanced out ur shot in the photograph.. some negative space to let the subject breathe..
but a fab shot nevertheless..

It looks like a brilliant green eye... Did you intend it or is it just me? Anyways, this is indeed a beautiful picture! Love how the light curls in the shell

Gorgeous abalone shell and crystals, and I like the little barnacle on the side, too.

..or abalone, depending on where in the world you (or they) are from...

in fact, where i live they're called abalΓ³n (is spanish), but i wasn't sure how it was in english

Ah, I live in California, which was once Spanish-speaking, so probably why the similarity in names. They call it paua in New Zealand (and the shells are very blue).

in fact the color depends, i've seen red ones, green ones, blue ones, rainbows...i work in a souvenir shop in summer and we sell a lot of thing with them

For the abalone I'm familiar with, the color depends on the species, although there is some variation within a species. Most California species are actually named for the color - pinto, red, green, black, and white (the last three are actually endangered species).
