Image 3: Square image
A still object

I chose the square format for this image to accentuate the diagonal lines the shell was making as it spiralled round. I also thought that this approach would make the shape of the shell stronger within the frame of the image. I tried several arrangements of the shell as I shot it and this image is I feel the best but I still think the object looks a little awkward in the frame and the image is not as dynamic as I would have liked.
