I agree with the nominator that this is an excellent photo. The scale in the bottom right hand corner looks like a smudge when the picture is a thumbnail. It's fantastic to include a scale, but could it be made bigger? If the scale was increased to say 5cm or even 10cm it would be more obvious and

Agree. I'm assuming - since it's Archaeodontosaurus and he knows what he's doing - that the slightly odd-looking roughness on the back of the skull is genuinely there, and that's the only possible issue.

Not a fan either, but I don't think it's overly intrusive. That said Archaedontosaurus is the creator, so he may be able to replace it with straight black, as he has in other of his images.
182:* Over time I came to the conclusion that it was not a good idea. But in those days, I found this interresting technique. If I have time I will make a black version this weekend.-- 475: 96: 465: 285:
Very well observed, but this is not an error on my part. You see the skull at its best profile for the other side he took a hammer blow and was busted. --

I'll third the scale enlargement. I had the same issue but since I'm not familiar with this sort of photography, didn't know if it was normal or not. –

Sounds like a good plan to me; if it become time consuming or doesn't fit your agenda, this could always be suspended for a while. Cheers!

Very high resolution, excellent quality image of a specimen with high EV. FP on Commons already.

although I do think that the picture would be improved if the scale were made larger.

Black background makes looking at image very pleasant on full screen. –

Really debated this, I'm not sure there's a clearcut answer.
