I love the glow from underneath! I think I would have liked to see a little less light on the left side of the shell (to draw back more attention to that beautiful glow). What an interesting shot!
this is excellent alicia .. i wonder why i imagine a spirit glowing with life under that shell ..
something imprisoned but its spark undiminished .. brilliant and different .. :)
Light underneath is an excellent idea, taking this into the realm of science fiction transportation. The foreground begins to lose texture - might enhance the subject to crop away a bit of foreground, maybe enough to also eliminate the yellowish spot near the edge on our right.
