 I found this Nautilus shell in Palau on Ulong Beach (where Survivor was filmed).
I set the Nautilus shell up in a \"black\" box I had built and took the picture from a tripod no flash. I only adjusted the sharpness a bit and adjusted the contrast. Other than that it\'s as-is.
The Nautilus will become neutrally boyant at a depth of around 300-800 feet and live there.

This presentation is pretty flat. Try another angle.

Beautiful colouring. I know by experience that these shells are difficult to photograph. Well done.
