Moss Landing, CA. This guy had to work pretty hard to get inside the shell. Comments and criticisms welcome. Thanks,

Hi Bill Caught a good behavior and its well exposed Main thing hurting you is the light angle from hard left making the other side in shadows .. also going flat on the sand would give a nice bg !!!

Hi Bill - AL nailed it - for these getting down and dirty will improve your results - and its only water and mud - can be lots of fun.

Hi Bill, Agree about the light angle but a bonus having the gull with the shell in it's mouth...
