Oysters for sale, snack time, at a market in London.
The common name oyster is used for a number of different groups of bivalve mollusks, most of which live in marine or brackish water. The shell consists of two usually highly calcified valves which surround a soft body. Gills filter plankton from the water, and strong adductor muscles are used to hold the shell closed.
The oyster is used as a metaphor in an idiomatic saying, "The world is your oyster", which means that the whole world is laid out before you like a wonderful living buffet

Interesting subject for a close up. The reflections make it a bit hard to focus with the eyes.
Composition could be improved...

agreed, just not feeling it. maybe its just that i'm not familiar with the subject. leaves me a little flat. Perhaps the tones can be deepened, the glare in the back reduced? not sure what it is . . .
