Winter Solstice Shell & Stone Still Life #1

With the winter solstice sunset beaming horizontally through my window I couldn’t help but play with the shells & driftwood a bit.. arranging their shadows in order to hilite the textures that normally go unnoticed.

The inversion above looked so much like a natural winter scene that I just had to make it the main picture. Below is the original unfiltered image. Background is dark brown leather.
