There was an update -- sounds like a leaf was really in the shot:
> Big news! I sent @sdw the original image. He theorized a leaf from a foreground tree obscured the face. I didn’t think anything was in view, and the closest tree is a Japanese Maple (smaller leaves). But he’s right! Here’s a video I just shot, showing the parallax. Wow!

- agar 5y agoI wish this could be pinned to the top. Perhaps a follow-up post to HN would be worthwhile. So many people will leave this thread incorrectly believing this was an iPhone problem. It could easily become the data point people use to cast doubt on all pictures they don't like.
- davidbarker 5y agoI'm the OP (of the HN submission — not the tweet). Really interesting discussions. I've upvoted this — hopefully it makes it to the top.
