Individuals in the
mollusk species Donax variabilis show diverse coloration and patterning
phenotypes.
This is a follow up nomination to
this one. It addresses concerns from that nomination, including, fewer shells, black background, higher res, diffuse light sources, etc. Illustrates
phenotype
Created by me, User:debivort.
Support, while I enjoyed the first version, this one clears up a number of the voiced concerns. The image is beautiful by itself, it illustrates the concept, and the technical aspects, such as resolution, color, exposure, are all fine.--

Support. I liked the original, and this is better. Well done. I can't help but think that this may also be a good illustration for one of the articles on Biological
variation too. --

Hi Nautica, thanks so much for spreading the image, but I am afraid I removed it from that page, as I don't know if the variation in pigmentation is genetic or environmental. I'll restore it if I can find a source though.

That's what I thought too, which is why I didn't add it myself. I was hoping someone else may know for sure and slot it in where appropriate. --

Support. Good improvement from the first nomination. I like how sharp it is, along with the contrast between the shells and the background. Very nice. --Tewy17:39, 8 October 2006 (UTC)reply
Support. Very nice indeed. Some of the shells look a bit sharper than others, but this is a minor issue as they are easily high enough resolution for the required detail.

Some definitely are sharper than others, largely because I had to take a separate image for each one. But interestingly, much of the appearance of sharpness seems to come from the texture/slight translucency of the shells themselves. For example, the shell in column 2, row 3, is in decently sharp focus (note the ridges at the top and crispness of the light reflection), but looks more blurred through the middle. I think this may be because of the diffuse lighting going through the slighly transparent shell.

Support Looks like my vote isn't needed, but it's a good picture of a scientific subject, which obviously took a lot of work.

Comment: See how great the FPC process is - a previous good (but not great) image is re-shot and receives 100% support! :) Greetings, --

Support. White is the traditional background, but black is fine in this case. The arrangement is nice, with similar ones next to each other. There's also more detail on each one. All around superior image.--
