Spend 3 hours with various lighting in combination with different colored plastic report folders to deepen the blue of the plate, various shutter stops, and several different shell choices .
Background is a cracked glaze plate. I cut out a blue plastic report folder cover and placed it over the plate to get a deeper blue. The shell is about an 1/2 inch.
Wish I could remove the two dust specks but since that is against the rules I have to leave them there and hope for the best.

Interesting image! The focus on teh shell is a bit soft, but otherwise very nice with strong colors. Not sure how the title relates, but that is beside the point! :)
Very nice background, and great use of the shell. Could have used deeper DOF to get the whole shell in focus for more interesting detail. Nice colours.
