My mom let me take some pictures of this, though she was very weary of it. She got it from my grandmother when they lived in australia. If you are wondering what this is, it's a shell from an extinct sea creature of some sorts...It is a natulous(sp). If you saw it in person, it is really cool. It has a built in rainbow of colors inside of it.

+ The shell is appealing and shows various textures in combination with the light.
- Focus seems to be a bit off; DOF is too shallow. Perhaps you should come closer to the shell to give the photo more appeal. A different POV or composition might improve the photo as well.
I'm kind of seeing al lthe stuff at the bottom as a distraction. the shell is beautiful and tefinately a texture, but the stuff at the bottom is all out of focus, and being out of focus, doesn't seem like it's a main subject at all, and therefor doesn't really seem to fit in with the photo at all. Also, I think I'd like to see different crops of this. The bright spot in the center of the shell is actually appealing to me in this case. normally I don't like bright spots, but I think it works here well. ~Heather~
I find this a bit weak compositionally: and the light and shade a bit blunt. It seems to emphasise shininess rather than smoothness. Whatever that stuff is surrounding the main shell seems very arbitrary.
