Venus Comb Murex - a photo on Flickriver

Venus Comb Murex

            (Murex (Murex) pecten pecten).

I was in a shell museum in Bohol, Philippines, a tiny building that displayed tropical shells in dimly lit rooms.  I shot this image through reflective glass, hand held at around 1/30 of a second.  I was surprised my body was still enough (at my age) to get an image worth playing with in post production.
