  • Tentative Oppose – Black background is distracting and looks like photoshop rather than photographed on a black background. Silhouettes are tenting to be lost against the background, shells look too dark. ProfDEH (talk) 08:26, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's a mistake to disqualify half of the encyclopedic photos in the Molluscs category just because of the background. For inanimate specimen (particularly a multi-view collage), a flat background (photoshopped or not) is fine, if done well. @ProfDEH: what does "tenting to be lost" mean?! Is it a typo?
