Love your Spiky shot Nick, love the shadows but for me would like to see abut more contrast (but that's just me )
I was quite pleased with Spiky when I took it but I'm blown away with the reaction. A few people mentioned the low contrast and the fact that it's bright but it was very deliberately shot that way - I wanted the shadow to be as big a feature of the image as the shell itself. @pjm1 the background isn't actually white, it's a champagne colour. I chose it because it was a close match for the colour of the shell and I was going for low contrast, but the flash made it look almost white. That might be what you're seeing, or it might be to do with the fact that I've never set a white balance, ever.
