  •  Comment When preparing the camera for the first shots of this evening I set the aperture to f/3.5 to still have a low enough ISO. But even at f/3.5 it has a very shallow DoF at its full resolution of nearly uncropped 46MP. The right eye is pin sharp but the nosetip and the quite exposed left ear looked strange to my eyes when pixel-peeping at 100%, so I decided to downscale it for upload. --Granada (talk) 08:23, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - Don't rules say that photos shouldn't be QIs if they are downscaled to look sharper? People shouldn't be penalizing a humongous photo because it's not sharp at the very largest size (maybe with the exception of some panoramas and such).

  •  Oppose This is clearly against the rules. The supporters above should reconsider their votes. How could we expect anybody to upload pictures at full size if we're going to promote this one? Regarding Granadas concerns it's perfectly fine not to have everything in focus here. A shallow DoF is quite a normal thing in portrait photography. We already had this discussion several times. I'll consider changing my vote to support after a higher resolution version has been uploaded because it's a very good portrait otherwise. --Code (talk) 04:17, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 CommentDownsampling images of living persons is even advised under certain circumstances, so this was not at all against the rules. --Granada (talk) 17:49, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, if full resolution could be offensive, but not in order to appear of better quality. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:03, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - I have to agree with Code. It's against the rules. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:30, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I cite the rules: "Images should not be downsampled (sized down) in order to appear of better quality. Downsampling reduces the amount of information stored in the image file. Downsampling images of living persons is advisable if the images would otherwise show details of the body (e. g. skin, teeth) in unacceptable magnification, which could be considered offensive or violate the person's rights.". Please could someone update the rules so that they strictly prohibit any downsampling? And remove that sentence about living people. Thanks in advance. --Granada (talk) 05:59, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
btw: it now has its full resolution. --Granada (talk) 07:25, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support reinstated. IMO, irrespective of questions about rules, the photo is so much more impressive this way. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:35, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
