 Lighted up this shell by placing it up against flashlight. Pretty hard light but I managed to work it a little in Photoshop.
I used Picasa to begin with and adjusted it in Photoshop with more advanced work. I adjusted levels and curves. I turned it to b/w and used dodge and burn here and there. Finally sharpened it and put frame around do enclose the image. I really thought the frame helped.

cool lighting effects. I wonder if this would be more effective in a squarer frame. 7
