    wtf is up with that thumbnail image? Either a mid shop job or a weird ass image-gen on just the face. Just…why?

        It’s not that the face is unbelievable, it’s the weird, high definition of the details compared to the rest of the photo. If it was 2015, I’d confidently say they copied a better quality picture of his face over this one.

          I dunno. It just looks like a photo taken with a high end digital camera to me.

          Isn’t it just the thing that smartphones do these days where they slightly blur the background to make the person stand out more? Like you might do adjusting the focus, but faked.

            Isn’t it just a regular shallow depth of field? You can see the piece of paper smoothly transition towards being in focus

              You might be right. Looking close up the edges don’t stand out as being faked, I just didn’t look that close before. Though the arm on the right (his left arm) is full in focus and the box right next to it is very out of focus.

              To be honest it’s been so long since I’ve seen a photo that wasn’t autocorrected up the wazoo that I can’t remember what things are supposed to look like anymore.
