All previews are reduced resolution; enlarged views carry a watermark. Purchased files are delivered clean and full-resolution.

Hold it to your ear and you might just hear the tide. This is not an ear, though the resemblance is uncanny — it's the glossy aperture of a whelk shell, photographed in extreme macro against black. Four close views trace its coral-to-crimson interior, from a single glistening fold to the full ridged spiral, before pulling back to reveal the rugged, barnacle-worn exterior of the shell itself.
