Sand dollars

These are not treasures from any shipwreck. Sand dollar is a common

name for marine animal, found on ocean floors. Dead sand dollars are

found, washed away on the beaches.

 

Your comment will be appreciated.Thanks.

very nice composition. great natural colors. compliments -koushik

It appears that you have experimented with color in this picture and in my opinion, that's what makes the picture. Never rest on your laurels, do you, Amal.

Muy interesante estos animales marinos, es la primera vez que tengo referencia de ellos, jamas los habia visto, y he buceado por muchos mares. Excelente.

Un cordial saludo, Joaquín.

If it isn't under water, then certainly once was, ha! Cheers A.K.!
