Original - Cymbiola imperialis is a species of volute. Shown is a shell (from left to right) from the dorsal side, the right side, the ventral side, the back, and the front. The shell measures 21 centimetres (8.3 in) in length.

Reason: Fantastic EV as far as illustrating this species goes, draws the eye nicely, great quality.

Weak support. Superb, but a scale for instant reference would help. Twilightchill t 12:09, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support Clear and appealing, good quality, and good EV. It would be even better if there was a scale though, as TwilightChill pointed out :) Clementina talk 03:28, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment as author and uploader: The length is given in the description of the picture (21 cm). Someone changed the original description: the two views on the right side are not top and bottom, but (anatomically correct) the back side an the front side, as I described in the original. --Llez (talk) 13:57, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
