Photos with objects focused in the middle don’t really work as they will be overlapped by the widgets anyway. +- Especially the top part can’t have too much differing contrast, as then it’s not possible to see the navigation icons. +- We serve the pictures at 4k resolution and most of the selected images are also available in 6k or higher so it is future-proof. +- For the search of course we had to limit to CC0, CC By and CC By-Sa. Only CC0 would have been practically impossible cause there’s just not so many good ones which fit. -- 2.39.5
