  • Thanks for the notification. Still overprocessed in my view. Just a different processing, but the same kind of modification, with excessive contrasts. The shades in gray scale are not original. More worryingly, this format is not faithful to the author's choice. While the original photograph was almost a square, here it is a rectangle. And when the author decided to grant a large space below the feet, as well as an infinity sky (giving the impression that the child is small in the environment), here the current crop seems to be altering this management of the space. There was also an eye-catching object at the left, like a dark shadow, that has been totally suppressed, for whatever reason I can't support -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:25, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very honestly, the dark grays in the original are black, and the light grays white. Which means that the contrasts have increased. Moreover, the derivative seems upscaled, as part of the resolution -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:23, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • When superimposing the original TIFF and this derivative JPG on Photoshop, the derivative version appears bigger in size. Which is weird, since the source indicated on the page is unique, with a specific resolution. At least it's not clear where the larger resolution comes from, if it exists. Concerning the shades, I mean there's a difference between the original and this version. The original nuances appear richer and more subtle to me.
