Sea shell pictures are normally of exotic shells. This is a different sort of unique sea shell photo. The shell itself is very ordinary, nothing much to look at.
But the photograph is somewhat special. It is a color photograph, yet it looks almost like a black and white picture, because of the white shell set against black sand. The marks on the sand, made by an earth digger, give this sea shell picture added interest.
This picture has special significance for me because of the place where it was taken.
The tide was down that day and there was no opportunity to swim. But this sea shell picture made the trip worthwhile.
When I first posted this picture on my personal website some years ago, I decided to do a Google Search for Sedili Kechil and guess what I found – the first item listed was the Tide Table!
Never mind the sentimental reasons and the uncanny coincidence.
On its own, I still feel this is a special picture of sea shells – special because of its ordinariness. It is just an ordinary shell on an ordinary beach, whose sand surface had been scratched by an earth digger.
With the eye of a photographer, I was able to see the potential presented by this very ordinary picture of a sea shell. And I am proud of this fact.
