I like the background scene, the shell looks like it was illuminated with flash, and that part does not work for me.

Why's that Florida?

The object and its position are more of a mystery than an invitation. The sky and text are great.

The drop light effect is very clever and the subject is properly illuminated. I like the DOF control. The font is perfectly placed and stands out. The highlights on the shell are a little distracting, but not so that they have a major impact on the overall image. Nice conept and good execution.
