It almost looks like the head of a Tuna John?

[Shadowman]

Nice concept.

[Texas Dave]

I like the textures on it...whatever it is. Any idea?

[DanK]

Very interesting capture.

I don't know if you permit edits, and if not, I will take this down, but what about blurring and darkening the background to bring this out? here is a very quick and dirty version which is not polished, but you can get the idea.

Cool find John, I agree with Grahame regarding the Tuna

[JohnRostron]

This looks like a Mussel shell that has been around for a while. The 'eye' of the tuna is an acorn barnacle shell. There are other barnacles to the right. The holes in the front of the shell are probably caused by a sponge etching into the shell.

All these extra animals contribute to the artistic effect of your shot. Well spotted and a well chosen image.

Very nice find John...I used to collect them shells and sea weeds from the beach, washed them, then throw them just like that on my vegetable garden...Anyway, I never thought of taking a picture of them...good idea...

Although it is a mussel shell it really looks like creature , nice shot

[Barbara Ponder]

I like it! Nice spotting and shooting it!

[GBO25]

Isn't it interesting what a photographer sees that most casual strollers would miss just because we're looking for a photo opportunity. Nicely spotted, composed and shot.

Actually to tell the truth SWMBO found it with her P&S and this is my version which I have waited several years to publish.[2003]

There is another shot of her on her knees but I have had my hand slapped for taking shots like that
That is my home-made monopod and head ... just aluminium RHS of suitable sizes sliding in each other. Used a golf ball as my pattern for the ball when I was casting aluminium at the Club back around the start of this century.
