Beautiful light Basri. These are really cool shells, they are also very cool swimmers in real life.

Very nicely lit Basri!
Excellent example of structures in nature that grow or diminish exponentially as you say..
Well done & all the best in 2014!!

Very nicely done, Basri! I've always found these nautilus shells and their beautiful design quite fascinating. I have not yet photographed them (sounds like a good winter project

), but I really like your approach here. The backlighting works wonderfully to highlight all of their intricate design. Good placement within the frame too. A very pleasing and eye-catching image.

This is beautifully lit and does a great job of showing off the spiral.

Stunning geometry, color, and slightly off-center main subject.

Just right, esp the placement and gradations of color against the sharp lines.
