Lightning Whelk crown

For all you lefties out there, the lightning whelk is the only whelk that has a left (sinistral) whorl and opening unlike most univalves. Some cultures believe this left-oriented characteristic gives the lightning whelk special powers in addition to its great beauty.

Most plants grow with such a strange structure and I thought the rose was perfect for this.

Great shot dulceylima, love the colour toning! And very interesting facts on the shell too.

What fantastic and varied shots so far!

Mine is not a patch on the zebra in the example image - love those teeth! - but anyway...
I was at Auckland Zoo and for some reason this zebra suddenly took off and started chasing an ostrich. Thanks to burst mode, I was able to pan and capture the movement. I'm glad this one, with all four hooves off the ground, turned out relatively sharp.

took this shot while treking through a rainforest nature reserve. the thick treetop canopy blocked out most of the light but a few streams made it through, illuminating bits and pieces throughout the understory.

Taken in my back garden last September with my trusty Minolta DImage Z2. The petals of this Dahlia, outlined in white, make for a strikingly repetitive image.

I really like the image, you can fall into the swirl!

I played around with half a dozen different ideas, but bumblebees are so unlikely and always make me smile.
I like this image because of the repetition of the yellow stripes on the bumblebee also repeated in the colour of the stamen. I like the many patterns in the image as well, especially the delicate veining on his wings and on the daisy petals.
I also deliberately chose an image with a mature flower which to me speaks of the repetition of the pattern of life.
