Happy as a Scallop???
It looks as if I am a day late for the Happy theme. If not, this would be my very first Weekly Theme entryThis smiling scallop was photographed at Fort DeSoto Park south of St. Petersburg, FL with the Canon 600mm f/4L IS lens, the 1.4X II TC. ISO 250, and the EOS-1D Mark II. Evaluative metering at zero: 1/125 sec. at f/18 in Tv Mode.
Don't be shy; all comments welcome? (As I am a bird photographer does this qualify as Out-of-My-Box???

Artie, you are right - it does resemble Audrey II!! Perhaps it is happy knowing that it may soon be consumed by my wife, who loves scallops. Great example of OOTB happiness!

Thanks Kerry. I will come back at you: in the movie, who did the voice of the plant? (How great is that movie???)

Artie, you got me but Wikipedia came to the rescue! I knew it was a singer but did not know the (unlikely) name - Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops! Great movie! Being "in the biz", I know one of the guys who built the animatronic character.

When I was in college I loved the Four Tops. Levi is dead now but wow, he had a great voice. Baby, I need your loving, got to have all your loving.

This made me laugh, Arthur! The tongue is showing a dire case of something or other, and the poor thing seems to be missing a few teeth. Ha ha ha! But in all seriousness it's a great capture. Lovely colors and the reflection is so clear. Congratulations on venturing out of your box, and for posting your first Weekly Theme - albeit a day late. Kora
Thanks Kora and Denise. Are there any other "Little Shop or Horrors" fans out there?

Happy Scallop. Looks like he has has tongue sticking out. Can't say I am a fan of LSOH
IT made me smile! I love the soft glowing light in this image - also like the warmth of the light on the shell against the soft blues of the sand.
Artie I love the reflection looks like it has eyes very spooky
Just a minor identification point - this shell is actually a cockle not a scallop (although they both have ribs and are somewhat related). Great picture of a live one! With the angle you picked it definitely has the LSoH look!
I can also see the smile...Rocky Horror Picture-ite, if I try hard I can see a face on the shell...nice one
