•  Support at 2.6 cm (full-page size is bigger than that), these photos are sharp, but these photos are not sharp at 30% of full size. I know this is an odd question, but are they unnecessarily large? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:36, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
  •  Comment I always make full-size photos of each of the 5 views with a 6000x4000 px Camera. Mounted together they reach the given size. I don't like to downsize them afterwards even if there is a risk of some blurring. Everyone who wants to can downsize the photos as he likes to get more sharpness (As far as I know Wikimedians don't like downsized photos very much). The size of the picture also depends on the form of the valve, this one is photographed in the same way, but the form of the valve is quite different and so consequently also the format of the picture. --Llez (talk) 07:58, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry Llez, but I don't think these are among the finest shell photos. Perhaps these have proved especially hard to get all-in-focus but there's just too much of each shell that is out of focus and the in-focus bits are not sharp. I appreciate you don't like to downsize but at the same time, there is no point in offering more resolution than your lens captured. I have looked at a lot of your other high-resolution shell images, and they appear to have more detail. Further, compared to the other detailed and even colourful shells in our gallery, these are really very boring and plain. Not all subjects invoke wow, and I think, of all your shells, this one is absent wow. -- Colin (talk) 10:10, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
