Cutaway of a nautilus shell showing the camerae (from nautilus)

Photoshop version.

Nominate and support. - JusticeGuy 19:33, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support, clear and informative, but I'd much prefer to features this image of a live nautilus as a lot of people don't know what they look like. Mgm|^(talk) 11:06, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
Support - Great photo that nicely adds to several articles, but I think additional color contrast between the nautilus shell and its background could make it even better. Sango 123 18:26, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
Oppose; contrast is weak, and, as nice as it is, is doesn't really exemplify what I think of as FP quality. Deltabeignet 02:03, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Agree with Deltabeignet, and add that the image is quite noisy. --Fir0002 07:33, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
Oppose Agree with Fir0002. Junes 07:43, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, reluctantly, since i took the photo. But the comments above are pretty much valid. unfortunately, the photo was taken without sufficient light. -- Chris 73 Talk 19:32, May 27, 2005 (UTC)

I was thinking just that, and its often a problem. Bad luck this time! --Fir0002 12:41, May 28, 2005 (UTC)

Why not just fix it in Photoshop? --brian0918  20:02, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I prefer the original. --Bernard Helmstetter 23:39, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I will ~~Support~~ because I keep noticing this picture, and even though it could be better, per reasons given above, I still really like it. I have played with it on Photoshop to see if it could be improved. I don't know if it is possible though. I have put the version I've created here so people can see the difference. I can change the background colour easily if necessary. Perhaps now it looks too fake? The other option of course is to just play with the brighness/contrast, but I didn't find that made much difference when I did it. --Silversmith Hewwo 17:03, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Changed to Oppose due to Chris taking a new picture in the future. --Silversmith Hewwo 09:24, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- I already tried photoshopping when i took the picture, and the first image was the best I could do. The second version by Silversmith is only a slight improvement. Thanks for all the positive comments about my photo. Currently I do not have access to the shell, but I hope to visit the friends place again in a few months, and I will try to take another picture with more light and a better quality. Thanks -- Chris 73 Talk 07:51, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
