  •  Oppose, A lot of dust. And weird lightning specially in first two. -- RTA 16:48, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment Dear RTA, it is a natural object in close up. Natural objects aren't perfect and some "dust spots" are visible, but it is real dust on the shell, not caused by photography. I cleaned the shell before, but you have always some dust in the air and so is impossible to get a shell completely without dust - unless you work in a high-purity laboratory. On other shells (like rock snails (Muricidae)) you don't see dust at the surface, but this is caused by the different surface structure of the shell (in which the dust is not visible), not by the absence of dust. Also the surface is extremely smooth and reflective (please compare with other photos of cowries in the www). To verify this, please see [1] --Llez (talk) 22:07, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      PS: RTA, I'm glad that you only opposed and that you didn't replace my picture during the voting period by another, as you did some weeks ago (see Bad behaviour just to troll or lack of reading? [2])! --Llez (talk) 05:46, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Just a lot of excuses, as always, ad hominem you will not improve your photos, and if I can take this without a dust how you can't do? And this is a f collaborative community if you can't handle co-work, just put your photos at Flickr and we import from there, no one will properly remove dust spots, as you are not able.
The cut stills a crap one in the right of the first shell, the light stills not even, and this will not change by you attacking me...
If you do not know how to handle criticism, do not apply for FP... -- RTA 02:50, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
PS:Looking other photo of this shell, the light is away more weird that I thought as here, it's interesting see people in a wiki community avoiding learning, and keep doing same mistakes as before. But thanks for the shells.
