'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.
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.
nice lighting, i like how there is bright light coming out the back of it .. almost makes it look like a cave or something .. :)
Nice focus and colors
