'Go away or I will replace you with a very small shell script.' :P

Not happy with this shot...
Can't seem to get the balance right between the two light sources, there's a line where the base card meets the backdrop and there's a bit of blu-tack showing :-/

Torch (propped on the highly visible blu-tack!) pointing into the back of the shell. Pointy end illuminated by 'painting' with a maglite.

Beautiful image bod - never had time on-line to vote so haven't seen much of this challenge: I'd have scored this way up there. The sokution to your backdrop/base card interface difficulty (I'm sorry, I've been working on a conference and have been slightly infected with corporate-speak), is to bend the base card so that it is also the backdrop: hey presto!, no line to worry about.

It looks like a night light. Other than the fact that this is very pretty, very nicely spaced and filmed, I have to say I just don't like the subject matter.

Lighting especially good in this image

I really like the lighting used on the shell. Great idea. The composition is also done well and I like the white line on the inside of the border. It really frames the image nicely.

Very nice! Love the angle, and the little light in the back makes the shot. I used close to the same subject, but not nearly as well Good luck..... 10

Unusual, but very effective, lighting. Nice shot.
