60-365 Shell Shock

I was walking around trying to figure out what in the world to take a photo of.  I saw this on my bookshelf and liked the character on it.  I cropped it tight around the shell because I really liked the wavy edge against the neutral tone of my background.  I put my white balance on cloudy because I love the warmer tones it offers.  I had read somewhere before from a photographers book or magazine that they almost always shot on cloudy.  I can see why.

Settings were: Shutter speed - 1/60 secs, Aperture - F3.2, ISO - 400, WB - Cloudy, Flash not fired.
