• Support Focus is better near the bottom of the image, but given it's presumably a drone shot, and likely had to go through a certain amount of perspective correction, I can buy it. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.1% of all FPs} 14:48, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Not a drone shot, just saw an opportunity from being up high. Perspective correction nonetheless, of course. I figure at 62 MP, some smallish focus issues aren't a big deal (we could sharpen it by downsizing by 50% and it'd still be pretty big -- not that I'd suggest something like that). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:30, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

    I'm impressed at how well the perspective adjustment is done, then. I was expecting a shot from fairly nearly above the garden. Though I suppose the perspective isn't really in line with a drone hovering above its centre, in retrospect. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.1% of all FPs} 18:05, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
