•  Comment Maybe the white background is better.--Claus (talk) 17:48, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Support -- The grey is fine to me - it matches but doesn't blend in with any details. The shells themselves look great to me. -- One, please. ( _{^{Thank you.}}) 04:55, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Support I don't see why everyone thinks studio shots have to have white backgrounds. This one is really good, and the grey does not hide any details. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 16:47, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose I find this one as boring as the others shells from a photographic point of view. Not the best studio shots out there, despite the fact author took previous advices into account. - Benh (talk) 17:20, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

•  Oppose boring uninspired composition. Suitable for VI, but i would not count it as FP. --Niabot (talk) 19:01, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, I find the background colour really jarring against the shell. I'm not sure what background would be best, but this makes me wince every time I view it. --99of9 (talk) 00:35, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
  • (Also @ Llez) doesn't change my vote but maybe a brownish or yellowish? -- One, please. ( _{^{Thank you.}}) 02:55, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
    •  Comment I considered also these colours and I used them on other pictures as you can see [1], [2], and others (BTW, in this case voters said, that they don't like a brownish background!). A brownish or yellowish background only looks good, if there are also browninsh or yellowish colors in the shell. Here we have no brown nor yellow, but grey, black, bluish and violet. In this case grey is better IMO, see also [3]. The background always depends of the color of the the shell IMO and one can't say that a special color (often voters request a black background) is always suited as standard background for all objects. --Llez (talk) 08:33, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
