THEME - spiral

focus stack, remask, adjust, glitterato, flood, StarEffects...

Very nice! How about a Christmas thing with all the gorgeous stars you do?!

I don't know how you do this but I like it! Great focus stack of the shell, and however you did the water effect and reflection makes for a very interesting image. Very realistic.

David,

Thanks for your comments. Check out "Flaming Pears" plugins. Water effect is their plugin called FLOOD. It is fun to use.

Great stacking Mitch. Love the mood with the darker colours. Very menacing.

Wow, Mitch, this is very dramatic. The shell reminds me of an old ship ploughing through the water. The stars are wonderful

The sky makes this spiral look huge! I like the colors and the darkness.

This is really a creative concept. The colors, tonality, and composition are all very effective. The unexpectedly large shell adds a lot to the impact of the image. I like the stars, too, but I'd think about toning down the brightness of the three you did with Star Effects and, maybe, reduce the density of the others.
