WOw Cuba, exotic... Nice composition with the photos in the background. Watch out for color balance.

The striped colors on the shells are out of this world!

Thanks everyone . . I didn't think they were all that special because they are so common in the Carribean especially Haiti (they are actually tree snails I think) & the small one is a common cowrie (I think they used to be used as money for Native Americans)& I have so many of them, or I used to.
Rodney, we aren't far apart! Are your beach pix from Harrisons or down at fifteenth street?

Wow, they are so unique shells (I live in Norfolk, just 10min from the beach). They wonderful. I also like the warmth of the photo.

I'm with Elizabeth on this. I've never seen shells like this either.
