• Oppose – there's colour fringing and colour casts visible at full size. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 09:27, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

• If the picture was sort of painting User:Xanthomelanoussprog would be right but the colors of snail are naturally imprinted. Alborzagros (talk) 09:57, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

• To quote from the article "the shell color can range from black with white dots, to orange with white reticulations, so arranged as to expose the white in rounded triangular large spots. The aperture is white or light pink." The colour casts are magenta and green, neither of which appear to be naturally imprinted. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 21:17, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
