I took this on Galiano Island in Canada, edited in Photoshop. They're my friend Hawley's hands, and if you look closely, she's wearing an abalone ring. (Perhaps not abalone, probably a mussel shell. My mother always called them abalone. I like thinking they're more precious than they are.)

First I would like to welcome you to caedes.net. You will like it here, and this is a beautiful first posting for you..This isreally abalone? It is so small, it looks like a mussel shell. I thought Abalone are only in New Zealands coastline. So if thats what this is, you really have found a treasure. Its beautiful.I have a large abalone shell that was sent to me as a gift from NZ...and a ring too...so I know how pretty they are... And the photo being b&w is great..and then the colour of the shell, its very nice.

Great photograph, though the strength is in the colour and the BW technique.

I will definitly look forward to seeing more of your work. Good start.

It's actually a muscle shell, but that doesn't change how cool it looks :) Really great photoshopping for the color part.

I really love the colors that the inside of some shells have. Great contrast work within the picture here.
