•  Support Question There is a light blue reflection on several shells and there are seemingly some variations in sharpness. Could you please describe your setup for these photos? :-) Grand-Duc (talk) 13:19, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

 Comment The photos were taken by daylight in the shadow. The surface of the shell is glossy, so that one can hardly avoid all reflections. --Llez (talk) 14:48, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Well, I am not about to ask for that every reflection is avoided, but I wanted to know its origin. :-) Thanks for explanation! Grand-Duc (talk) 19:26, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
