This is an eroded specimen of Aporrhais occidentalis the Common Pelican's Foot. Quite a few on the beach at Bournemouth most years. I made a shell abstract from another view of this Here

A beautiful capture of a shell; and the red background, as well as the deep shadows and repeated 'caverns' (as we go up the spiral) make it feel like a sacred object. Or a prized relic, in a museum. The background is really fine for this shape. Really a beautiful shell capture, really finely done. And the purples in the shadows are very appealing too. Your digifiddle: I saw it when it went up and am about to comment on it now. (Again, I'm skipping around to get a good sampling, not because any image I skip is any less compelling to me. If I only wrote shorter comments, I could do everything; but I don't...) Last thought: You call this "Shell". I'm always struck at how titles can change people's perceptions of an image. If you called this "Fear" or "Thought," I can picture people pouring over it and thinking "what's the connection..." (Perfumes use titles like that.) Not a terribly interesting point, but it came to mind...
