 * Comment Lacking EV, can you add it to the species article?  Zoo Fari  17:59, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I linked it on Mytilus edulis, seemed more appropriate for the species than the previous image of a shell on the beach. Not sure the quality is there though for a FP though. — raeky ( talk 21:51, 9 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Question: Can the uneven shading be fixed? At the top, the background is grey, but at the bottom, it becomes white.  Spencer T♦ Nominate! 18:46, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. How is this lacking EV?! --Dschwen 22:22, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Not anymore but I'm a little concerned about quality. Will think about it...  Zoo Fari  22:29, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * What do you mean not anymore? Either a picture is valuable or it isn't. --Dschwen 12:16, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * At the time, it wasn't in the species article. Now it is; now it has more EV.  wadester 16  19:02, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Current usage shouldn't dictate EV, EV should be calculated on the image solely, not how it's used. — raeky ( talk 19:11, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * EV term or not, it should have been in the species article in the first place.  Zoo Fari  21:52, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The "EV" featured picture criteria is "Adds value to an article and helps readers to understand an article." - how an image is used in article(s) is essential. 80.47.149.6 (talk) 16:32, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. It's noisy and blurred at full resolution. The detail and texture on the top left shell could (in particular) be a lot better. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 21:48, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Lovely illustration, great EV, nicely lit, carefully laid out, sharp and properly colour balanced. I don't see any significant noise at all, and shading is exactly what you'd expect for a white b/g under this lighting. --mikaultalk 23:32, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral: Ugh, now I remember why I don't eat mussels, :-/ Good EV, but image quality is lacking a little.   Mae din \talk 18:47, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support detailed enough to see what you need to see --  Chil dzy  ¤  Ta lk  15:24, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
