Hiya ROBERT!

Exquisite is the first word to spring to mind. You have caught those glorious colours, tones and luminocity as beautifully as you have the sharpness.
The shell of its former self is nicely displayed as well.

Thanks for all the comments.

Dennis ... glad we found this one before it dried. Once it dries, it no longer has that beautiful blue sheen. #10315264
