Really like how worn the paint is. I would like to have see a little more of the building it's attached to....to give it some context. Excellent find!

Congratulations, big master! It looks like you're back for good!! Keep up the good work!

where's the beach?

where's the beach?

Looks very better for me now... GL

IMHO, it might have been more effective as an eye if it was rotated horizontally. Nicely done.

I like this... a lot! But I think it might make it a bit more dramatic with some cropping to move the rock more to the upper right. Maybe up a bit, and over to the right to about "2:00." You'd definitely want to keep the "tails" though. Either way, very nice.

A great one... GL

In my poor understanding, my eyes here are moved directly to the sea instead of the sand which is the theme of contest... only my point of view... GL

That water looks so inviting

Nice!

Nice

Nice texture ! GL

A patient job. GL

Thank you. I think you better tell all

The 'including the box' is confusing, When I first read it I too thought it meant that the box had to be included. But after reading it several times, and considering that 'including the box' was in brackets, I'm taking it to mean, that the box can be included, but doesn't need to be.
Considering we are talking about macros, I can be hard to tell if the box is included.

from your sewing box (including the box).

Looks too uniform to be a sea urchin, but what do I know.
