The contrast seems somewhat blown out.

How truly creative! Beautiful effect, and excellent effort to create it!

Thank you..I had a lot of fun doing it. Really needed to get my creative mojo going again.

Now that's what I'm talking about, very creative = )

well done

That's simply amazing artwork - looks like a gold shell. How about combining gel with carbonated water? It might create bubbly gel Well done

For me, this picture is too busy and dark and I had a hard time figuring it out at first. Maybe if there was just one shell, or just more light.

Thank you for all the feedback/comments. I truly appreciate them. My creativity has been in hiding of late and being on this site is really helping to spark it again. So many creative and talented people here how could it not spark it.
k5683-I intentionally placed the lighting in this way so as to "illuminate" the gelatin shell. In actuality the gelatin color is dark black cherry but the effect of the under lighting is what intrigued me. I do appreciate your input though-thank you.

Good Job Congrats

Wow! Very cool shot! Great job author!

Nice, but a little dark
