23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Curious conch shell.

Seeing is believing. Photo of damaged conch shell I found on the beach overlaid against a blurry photo of the sunset in Port Jefferson harbor. As a child I was told that if you hold a seashell to your ear you would be able to hear the ocean. I thought how about a photo looking into a shell?
