First why not Lenard and Second, the picture (the short one) shows her hair and ceiling and not her breasts.

And Third but minor complaint, if we look at the "Full" picture i at least "want" to see his butt.

It’s true. Imagery comparison is highly dependent on butts.

Background: the original Lena picture comes from the Playboy Magazine, and the model doesn't want people to use it. https://pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/it-s-time-to-retire-...

Didn’t realize the model doesn’t want people using it. That holds more weight in my mind than the fact that it was in playboy.

So we're swapping the possibly problematic ethics of a original with the possibly problematic ethics of showing this to people?

I mean is it normal to find that mustache and hat combo this attractive, (as a hetero male)???

One of the advantages of everyone using the same picture is that it's quite easy to compare different algorithms.

There are obviously better pictures that could be used - ones that would have characteristics that let you test and compare different aspects of whatever algorithms you are using.

Not sure the picture in the OP is particularly useful if I'm honest.
