The Gradient Thread

I used a gradient from http://filterforge.com/filters/8788.html Sjeiti "Scallops" filter as the basis of my own simpler shell. I don't really understand all the possibilities of gradients yet but am fascinated by the uses I have seen so far.

I looked through the forums and there are some good examples scattered about but several link to dead sites and the Wiki has mostly 'under construction' for the various gradients - so please take a moment to share your gradients here.

Just to illustrate using the gradient borrowed from Sjeiti's filter I created a simple shell, sea urchin-like critter, a plant and a 'polyp' in a hole.
