Oppose Right now you're probably thinking: "What? He's voting against one of Llez' shell pics? Is that even possible?" I know, I usually support these too, so let me explain my reasoning. It's simple, really. It's the shells. Their colours are fairly uniform, just a slight variation between light yellow and white, not with some of the exciting stripes or patterns we have become used to seeing in these nominations. As such, they are less exciting. Less impressive, less "wow-y" than the photos I've become accustomed to seeing. That's all.--Peulle (talk) 15:46, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment To make photos of such uniform shells (without overexposing) and showing however all details is much more difficult than a photo of shell with various different colours and "with some of the exciting stripes or patterns". --Llez (talk) 20:07, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but there's a problem with inflation; so many great shell pics raises the standard since I get used to seeing better ones.--Peulle (talk) 20:17, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Each shell is a masterpiece of nature. I do not dare to differentiate between better and worse shells. In my opinion they all are aestetic, independent the colour and shape they have. Just such shells as the shell above are a challenge for photographers. --Llez (talk) 20:51, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'm sorry but I must agree with Peulle (and I have, I think, !voted against one of these other collections—can't remember which). It is not to say that Llez shouldn't have taken it, or even nominated it; it is certainly an image we should have on Commons, and possibly even a QI. But Peulle is right that the nature of these shells makes it difficult to get out of them much of what has made other shell sets featurable—ironically, to me, that is in part because so much care was taken in photographing them. Daniel Case (talk) 03:59, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Only a Question: "...shell sets featurable...".Do we feature shells or do we feature pictures? Do we have featured picture candidates or featured shell candidates? --Llez (talk) 05:23, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The subject is of course relevant. A photo can be technically excellent, but if the subject doesn't wow people, there's still a chance they won't vote for it in FPC. --Peulle (talk) 12:07, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
