Excellent shot. Gives the imagination plenty of room to play. Mine immediately jumps to thoughts of a conch shell sitting upended on a white sand beach. But maybe that's just me. Good isolation of the essence of the subject.

This is really quite amazing, Nancy. Well done. Great choice of lighting angle and background color...

Thanks so much for the encouraging words.

I love going to the local rose garden this time of year and photographing roses. Everything is in bloom and the smells are so intoxicating.
