"Eyes on you: Two spiral shells with reflection in green" is a macro photo of two snail shells (shells). These two have beautiful markings with warm brown colours that remind me of autumn. The background has a green colour that makes for a nice combination with the brown shells. The background is calm and because it is a different colour, the shells seem to be more in the foreground.
This type of snail shell is called, if I picked correctly, the Phoenicobius Aratus. The spiral at the front of the shell is not only present as relief in the shell but is clarified by the beautiful dark lines, which in this way emphasise the spiral even more.
The colour of the shell becomes increasingly darker the further back you look. At the beginning of the spiral, the shell is cream-coloured, and at the end this colour has turned dark brown.
Because these two snail shells are on a mirrored surface, you can see the shells reflected in the ground surface, giving a nice effect.
This piece could hang beautifully as a wall decoration in the kitchen, dining room, hall or just above the sofa! Also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office waiting room or practice room!
