Thanks so much Brinn, Terry, Goshka, Rakesh, Kerby, Jenny, Carla, Jeff, Judy, Linda & Ronald for your wonderful comments and support. It is so much appreciated.

Ronald, I didn't do a lot of PS work here. Part of it is a reflection in mirrored glass. I did buzz the background to clean up the dust/specks on the mirror and then used a mask to selectively add back in the line detail of the background and all of the shell.
I wish I could do PS work like this...but I'm not that good :)

	Turritella Original Kristi A. Howson

Attaching the original from the RAW file. It looks like I also rotated this, and did some saturation/contrast adjs. I normally have to take these mirrored images upside down and then rotate them. On this one I also did a horizontal flip as well.
