They are limpet shells. Those things that cling to rocks and "clamp down hard at low tide.I'm not sure what sea creature discarded these shells.
Thanks Dave. I spent a while fiddling with the layout.Clever little shot for discarded Pete, well arranged and shot and good the shadows don`t overwhelm the shells.
Thanks for the id Chris. A bit of a shoehorn this week.They are limpet shells. Those things that cling to rocks and "clamp down hard at low tide.
They were probably eaten rather than discarded, but who cares.
I tend to agree Tim. I didn't want to get behind and I ran out of time to do much else.I'm not sure on those for the theme, more collected than discarded, because you've carefully arranged them.
I think if they'd been shot in a more natural environment it may have worked better.
That said, they are nicely captured and well lit with good white whites
Thanks CliveHi Pete nice shells and the background sets them off well.
Thanks HelenThey are either cockle or limpet.. should have paid more attention to my marine biologist ex partner
Nice take on the theme and well shot.
Cheers DaveNice shell shot - whelks maybe?
Thanks BerndNice shot for discarded, collected and cleaned
As before Dave they are 100% Limpets. Whelks are like elongated snails ( shells)Nice shell shot - whelks maybe?
Goes to prove I should have listened moreAnd cockles are Bi Valve shells @HelenC
Who really listens to their other half ?Goes to prove I should have listened more
Thanks Chris.As before Dave they are 100% Limpets. Whelks are like elongated snails ( shells)

Back to the story, thats an interesting close up of the cockpit Pete
Thanks Helen. yes most of the exhibits at the museum had seen better days.Goes to prove I should have listened more
Interesting shot and pov.. looks like its been well used too.
Cheers Dave. I remember them too, from my younger days.Eeeee I remember those flying about! Nice close crop.
Thanks Tim and yes, there was no chance of anything wider without getting too much clutter in the frame.As Dave says, it's a good close crop. I suspect it's something you need due to proximity to other exhibits.
Nicely sharp and a great subject
Thanks Clive. Yes a very cluttered background, so needed the crop.Nice plane close up. Nice composition the close up works well.
Thanks Papillon.Discarded - nicely arranged collection and good colour
Free week - I guess the tight crop was necessary but it works.
Cheers Mark. Crop was necessary but I seem to be in a phase where I crop tightly or leave a lot of negative space in the pic.The tight crop works as others have said I would guess it's due to the BG etc.
That does look broken, but would of cropped to lose the car as my eye is drawn to that but still on theme.
Nice stark image for broken, but I agree, I'd also clone out the car, should be easy enough being against a brick wall.
Or even just crop it out down the left side ( of image) chimney ?
Wild - nice use of DoF very vibrant.
Broken - Nice spot for the theme I agree wit cropping the car out to remove the distraction of the bright yellow.
Nice spot for Broken would it have worked better losing the car and including more of the shuttered front.
Liking the colours on the wild flower, I agree about the whites though, tend to overpower the purples. Good take on the broken theme, I think the car adds a bit colour to the image but you could clone it out, shouldn't be too difficult with the brick wall behind.
Thanks all. It's good how we all see things differently.
Thanks Helen. as soon as I saw the car I knew I wanted to include it.Have to say I liked the contrast between the shiny new car and the dilapidated building. I assumed it was deliberate. As you say
Thanks Rick. I thought it would be easier to find a building in that state but it took a few days, looking as I was out and about.I like both shots for broken. It's a shame to see these buildings in that state.
