Limited depth of field happens (a lot) in close-ups; particularly macro close-ups. Physics and optics. While your observation is entirely true, it strikes me as a bit overcritical, like faulting this portrait of Einstein because his ears and the hair behind is ears aren’t in focus. The photograph of Einstein is still interesting because his face is the most important part; similarly, this lizard’s head and shoulders, IMO. Greg L (talk) 15:03, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough but just because there's a reason for it doesn't mean we should ignore it... FP nom's often get picked up for DOF issues so it amazes me no-one else has mentioned this... Gazhiley (talk) 19:05, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Unless you can make a focus bracket, you just have to live with it. HereToHelp (talk to me) 02:43, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think I acted too hastily in promoting the original. If you have a preference for either the original or the edit, would you please state it in the next couple of days. Thanks! Maedin\talk 10:22, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Apologies; it would appear that an almost identical edit uploaded over the original, after the alternative was produced, has confused the discussion (and me). I consider at least two preferences for the original null, then, and will alter the promotion accordingly. Maedin\talk 13:26, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
