•  Neutral could be sharper; blurriness followed by a brownish dot at the right side of the right shell near the opening (aperture). Overall quality is good, though.--Snaevar (talk) 14:45, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

 Comment Actually, a seashell very conditionally has "top" and "bottom". A gastropoda mollusk creeps on surfaces with very different angles. This picture shows dorsal and ventral view, and any angle of view for both part of picture will be correct.

Yes, there is a historical tradition only (by Ernst Haeckel and other wildlife illustrators) to draw apex at top, however it isn't dogma. At this historical illustration author Ernst Haeckel breaks self tradition (see shells at left and at right).

Also exist other historical tradition by other illustrators (however not so popular), to draw apex at bottom. For example: this picture has been made 1742. Personally I like such variant. However any angle of view is correct for a seashell, for example this and this with ~30° rotation. --George Chernilevsky ^talk 14:46, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

I didn't say it was wrong, I just prefer the other way for an FP. It is more a matter of consistency. Look at most of the other images on commons. Flipping will gain my support. W.S. 14:51, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
