About One of the old Arabic arts that is still alive up till now.
The shell has a small part of the Holy Quran carved on it.
Here is what it says:
God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting; slumber does not seize him nor does sleep; to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him, except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is after them, but they do not comprehend anything of His knowledge, except what He will. His Throne extends over the heavens and earth, and their guarding does not strain Him; and He is the High, the Great.
Al Baqarah 255

Hi Ameed,
That is a wonderful shot and great angle and light is perfect. I can see that the details are amazing. Keep it up it brother. Cheers.

This image is great. first thing the quailty serprised me really..its almost 3D image to my eyes, i like the way u dealed with ur exposure 1/4 is a bit slow and i can see the image real clear.. this image taken carfully. second thing i like lighting/shadows over this dark worm background which all going along in great composition in vertical frame. third thing i like the framing very much (which u will tell me how u did it later ;P ) i have just one small thing about the light reflection flare at center of the forground shell wish if it wasnt there. its really a great image. .keep up Ameed :) About flowers i will do it very soon.


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42188} 4/29/2004
Thanks to every one who is commenting on my work, i really appreciate it.
Samar: I wanted the back shell to be out of focus as it is only a back ground and not the subject :)

Ahmed: Thanks allot for your detailed comment which always give me more knowledge, You are right about the refliction on the shell, i couldn't avoide it without losing this lighting mood, too bad for that .. about the fraiming .. well no problem at all, i am having tom and the day after off, see ya online then we can talk in details :)
Thanks all and kind regards

Beautiful!
I love the texture in the shell, and that you added another shell as background balance.


Kristina Kohut   {K:49990} 5/30/2004
I like this beautiful presentation of the shells! Very well taken photo! The back shell looks like a mouth trying to say something, and the front shell is very interesting with all those arabic letters that for me looks more like beautiful artistic forms than letters.

Amazing image, the composition is very good just as 'shells' however the story to go with it, and the clarity of the 'script'on the shell is excellent, colours are lovely and rich
