When I read the challenge title, the first song I thought of was The sound of silence. I also immediately thought of using the seashell I’d used for this photo:
I formed a sheet of thin black cardboard into a cone shape and stuck the flash inside it. This meant I only had a small tunnel of light to work with. I flashed from the side and slightly at the back of the shell. It took a while (and lots of shots) before I got it right but I like the way the photo turned out.
Thanks so much for the wonderful and helpful comments and the smashing score.

Such a simple entry and yet it is so very effective with the reflection on the stark black background. The sound of silence perhaps because the creature who called it home has long since gone and only the essence of the Life remains. If you pick up the shell, do you hear the ocean calling still?
