I shan't vote, because that makes it so hard to get images closed, but does this remind anyone else of a snail? Shoemaker's Holiday ^{Over 188 FCs served} 17:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! That's what I thought when I saw it, :-) It also reminded me of a turtle, a bit, but that would have to be a pretty funky turtle, :-o Maedin\^talk 18:28, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There is an area that looks too strongly white and somewhat over-exposed, just to the upper right of the right-most part of the quartz. Can this be toned down, please? In thumbnail, it looks like a patch of overexposure. Apologies if I'm being hideously picky, but . . . studio conditions, right? Maedin\^talk 19:27, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
