I had some fun creating this image, I started with a simple idea of using the two figures, but kept adding more to the scene, I dipped into Photoshop and tried a couple of new techniques at least for me and was quite pleased with the result. It came out with a lot more colour than I was expecting, but I decided not to desaturate in the end as it seemed to suit the burst of colour it produced.
It is not uncommon to come across 1/2 an oyster shell along the Whitstable coast, but to find a whole one is far less likely, someone had put this one on the concrete bench and it caught my eye, it seemed to suit this week's challenge. The bench itself is a work of art which I had thought about using for my image, but I preferred the shell. Whitstable is famous for its oysters, but they are usually seen on a plate
