Support. One of the interesting cases where the photo would be just below our minimum specs, but one that I would be willing to support in spite of that. Per-pixel sharpness is excellent. JJ, can you advise if this is downsampled at all? If so, maybe you just need to upload at original res instead. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 08:14, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I decided to reprocess this a bit better - it was decidedly a little rushed - I had about 100gb to go through at the time. All the resolution I had is there now too. JJ Harrison (talk) 11:03, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Per pixel sharpness is still excellent. I want your lens. Don't want to carry it though. :-) Ðiliff «» (Talk) 14:50, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support Per nom. Only minor gripe (and it is very minor) is I wish the background around the head was cleaner (as opposed to the OOF rock) --Fir0002 03:37, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, same. I didn't have so much flexibility though, as I was on a boat. JJ Harrison (talk) 09:00, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support agree with Fir0002 but this is very good overall. Pine^✉ 06:49, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
