Miniature self-portrait by Peter Oliver (1594-1648)
  •  Info created by Peter Oliver (1594-1648) - uploaded by Xijky - nominated by Xijky -- Xijky (talk) 11:18, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - please bear in mind that this painting is only 8 cm by 6 cm, so the resolution is actually very high despite the comparatively small file size.-- Xijky (talk) 11:18, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I think this is one of the nominations, which may not look like much in preview, until seen in full resolution. I like it and I am impressed by the technical quality (especially considering the size). The texture of the painted surface is reproduced very well IMO. I can almost feel the texture on the surface. On close inspection, the upper right section of the photo seems softer that the other parts. Perhaps just slightly out-of-focus? Or is there another explanation? --Slaunger (talk) 20:44, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The very upper right is indeed slightly out of focus, but as it only affects the frame, not the painting itself, I don't think it's a serious problem. --Xijky (talk) 21:04, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Thanks for the explanation. I agree it is a mitigatable problem, as it is only in the frame. I was just curious if there was another explanation. Now I know a little bit about the miniature painter, Peter Oliver. Thanks. --Slaunger (talk) 21:17, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
