With all of the colors to choose for a backdrop, black might not be the most dramatic. A blue or soft yellow might accent the colors in the shell better.
From the thumbnail, I can see a bird. Upon closer inspection, I can also see a man. Lots of interesting things to see. I think this would benefit a bit from an increase in brightness - you still a have lot of room to play with before it starts washing anything out.
