Poor Image: Cargo Ship

If you look carefully at the picture, you can see artifacting as if it was originally a JPG picture.

I see nothing wrong with it.

I can see the artefacting, I believe, but don't think that it's nearly serious enough to warrant replacement. Of course, if a version of better quality is found, then I see no reason to not upgrade it (indeed, I seem to recall that quality upgrades are "free").

I want more opinions before I request locking.

Many many images have slight artifacting. This one is fine.

Can't see any artifacting here. It is originally an JPG picture.

I don't see any artifacting. Maybe the text is a little wobbly, but that's how it is in the original◊ too.

But here's a newly resized png version: [1]◊. Maybe you can see a difference?

Anyway, more importantly, do we have permission to use the pic? I don't see it anywhere (yeah, the artist is kind of credited in the caption, but that doesn't mean a lot).

Doesn't mean anything...we need to find out one way or the other.

Maybe we can ask permission to use it?

I googled "Saejin Oh" and found his blog here, I've searched through it and can't find the current image. His last post was 5 days ago, so I'd say he's active. Perhaps we can ask from there?

Bump? Did anyone ask?

I just did...hopefully he'll get back to me soon.

He got back with me and gave the to using the pic. I've updated the caption to reflect the original link he provided and his blog page. Are we good?

I think so. The original problem with possible artefacting was discredited, right?

We good.

More or less. I went ahead and uploaded a 350 px version to the page so the permission notice wouldn't wrap. Locking up.
