Description

This is a still life photograph taken indoors. The primary subject includes a white plate with two oysters, an open shell, and a knife. Next to the plate sits an aluminum tray with more oysters and a glass filled with a translucent, yellow liquid. Underneath these objects sits a wadded white paper towel. To the left is a partial view of a human hand. The objects are placed on a weathered table, and the background is dark. The image has a dark and moody atmosphere due to the lighting.
