Leonardo da Vinci - presumed self-portrait
I find one of the most impressive things about the image is the way you can really see his pencil-work, changing the contrast could potentially obscure some of the shading. This may not be an ideal image for low-resolution viewing, which is why I haven't nominated it on Wikipedia. CFCF (talk) 13:43, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Because it is lossless, I would have uploaded a tiff aswell, but that has no compression at all which would give a filesize over 200mb. Jpg is a lossy format, and with an image of this resolution even with as little jpeg-style compression as possible you can see the difference very clearly.
