Yes, it's way too blurry right now. I prefer the first versions if you 
look at the wiki history. One other thing that bothers me with this 
image: it looks like 2 mosaic pictures have been used, but they don't 
have the same "angle", they are not on the same "surface". This disturbs 
my brain somehow.
