Smile Delicious Sea Shell

My wife found this shell. Light box used to take the picture. Having a hard time getting everything in focus. Suggestions?

Set your aperture to F16 -F32. Your object will be more in focus.Also use a tripod when using this aperture setting.

Do you want critique of this image or to find out more about macro depth of field? In the latter case, I can scoot this over to the technique area.
