  • "pseudo-dynamic"? Sounds a bit academic. Are you suggesting that anything done with a photo-editor is "pseudo ..."? If making visual adjustments improves the image and doesn't compromise details, clarity, EV, composition -- why not brighten a bit? We should a least see an ALT image before making blind judgments and placing all/most weight thereon. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 15:23, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Using shadows like this attempts to give the bone a dynamic look, perhaps for emotional emphasis, or to make it seem older or stronger than it actually is. Brightening the image will not fix this. It needs to be reasonably well lit, to avoid such harsh shadows... and that demands a retake. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:54, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Brightening would only do just that, brighten. No one is trying to add "emotional emphasis". Let's forego the speculation jousting here and at least look at an ALT image, if the nominator is so inclined, before we embark on any further speculations. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 23:39, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
