Comment. I think it's a bit desaturated, with pale colors. Twilightchill t 07:44, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I love the picture, and I think it makes a great Commons FP, but I'm not certain about its EV here. J Milburn (talk) 15:33, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  - Yeah, I take your point. Perhaps this would make a good second taxobox image? Or perhaps a better taxobox image than the current one? As a last point, perhaps identify the species in the caption/note where the image came from? A strong caption in the article would add significantly here. I certainly think I could support this, but I'm not so convinced right now. J Milburn (talk) 20:55, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment You do know it's not a photo eh, Twilight? I'm also not sure about the EV, it's not used so well in Pulmonata, and there's another similar painting in the article, but without the distracting background. Also there's a beetle in the bottom right, which isn't pulmonate. And strawberries?! Aaadddaaammm (talk) 16:38, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The more I look at it the less I like it. There are much better ways to illustrate the pulmonates. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 17:40, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great drawing. The mollusks are feeding on strawberries and mushrooms, and the insect is feeding on a slug. Nice semantically dense image. Shroomydan (talk) 02:31, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Agree with Shroomydan's comments. Regarding the illustration's EV, I've improved its caption in the article and think it's well placed at the beginning of the taxonomy section. Maedin\^talk 13:19, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Where's the original? Looks like some scratches were missed on the restoration. The retouched note needs to be expanded to say what modifications were made. Makeemlighter (talk) 06:57, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
