Nicely thought out composition - like the effect which you have created. Good work.

Best,
Jon

wonderful submission. It fits the topic perfectly. Is it rocks and water? The bottom left corner is a little grainy, and I am not sure why. My eye is drawn down there.

Could be something caught in ice...I like the composition. There are some short horizontal scratches in the lower right area, probably from scanning.

Yes it is "Abstract" and that's nice. I like the tonal range, just wish the lower left area was sharper.

Nicely thought out composition like jon said.. but this almost makes you wonder what it is.. almost looks like something in a spider web.or like everyone else said something in ice maybe.
but good work.

Thanks all for your comments, but most ask what it is ... most who have seen my recent posts might have worked out that I spent my summer (Australia) holiday at a small beachside village ... also wanted to play with longer exposures so I went armed with some Ilford Pan F (ISO 50) film (yes, remember film and grain) ... this is a shot of a shell and a piece of coral sitting on sand at very low tide with a wave washing over them ... you might be able to see the water hitting from the top, and the area in the bottom left is where the water has just washed around them, but you can still see the grainy sand and shellgrit of the beach ... the shot turned out about how I thought it would and was captured with old Olympus OM 4 with a Tamron 90mm f2.5 macro lens and 2x converter (not just to get close but also reduce light and extend exposure) ... fast incoming tide made this the last of the opportunities for this type of shot for the day ... hope you enjoy and understand the explanation.

I like the grainy effect, it allows my amagination to work as well it could be ice or maybe sand and shells!!! Keep the shutter clicken!!!
