More limpets and barnacles

by OldTaffy

Is this image of general interest in the abstract, or is it only interesting to marine biologists? (I can't tell, having no artistic talent at all).
Not as sharp as the one I uploaded yesterday. I didn't have a tripod with me on the beach!

You have a camera in your hands so the artist in you hunts for something that satisfies your soul. I look at the photograph and see an artist. Why? Because you are in close, you have balance of tone and light, framing is great and textures are diverse. It is a close up of a wonderful little study of a corner on the beach. Most would take in the big seascape view and 'snap the button'. You've sought a closer inspection. Great stuff.
"The Latent Image that exists before development is a truly mystical and exciting entity and some subsequent individual photographs can make the spine tingle."

Many thanks for your kind comments. I do realise that I use photography to record things that interest me, and that I have little understanding or rapport with the world of "Art". Sometimes a setting like these shellfish catches my attention. Tyronet suggested, on my other Limpets & Barnacles photo, that putting it into monochrome might allow me to increase the contrast between shells and rocks. Alas, both had such similar tones that I doubt if it would help. I had already pushed the contrast as high as I could without clipping the histogram in the full colour version.

Thanks to all who have commented. Much appreciated.
