 * Tentative Oppose – Black background is distracting and looks like photoshop rather than photographed on a black background. Silhouettes are tenting to be lost against the background, shells look too dark. ProfDEH (talk) 08:26, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It's a mistake to disqualify half of the encyclopedic photos in the Molluscs category just because of the background. For inanimate specimen (particularly a multi-view collage), a flat background (photoshopped or not) is fine, if done well. what does "tenting to be lost" mean?! Is it a typo?

 * Typo obvs. The image is clear enough if you zoom right in but I do think it's unsubtle, looks crude at normal scale. EV no doubt but I don't think it's a good image. ProfDEH (talk) 09:48, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * ProfDEH, I understand, thanks for the reply. Bammesk (talk) 04:29, 15 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Support: I think I see ProfDEH's point, though. This seems a bit harsher than most of the black background molluscs, but it's also incredibly encyclopædic. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.5% of all FPs 08:49, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I agree with ProfDEH on this. The drop off between the shells and the black background is too sudden to the point of being distracting. GrantHenninger (talk) 18:43, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
