It looks good, but they have to get rid of the out of focus photo. Photos that are entirely out of focus are really annoying and give a lot of people headaches.

Usually out of focus areas should be used to bring the eye to an object in the photo that is in focus. But if such an object does not exist, then the eye wanders and tries to adjust itself to focus (the eye has its own focusing mechanism). But of course it cannot do so, so what you get as a result is strain on the eye and a headache.
Out of focus photos have no business in what hopes to be a mainstream website.
- evincarofautumn 12y agoWow, I’d never heard of this, but apparently it’s a thing. I just see the photo as blurred and that’s that; my eyes don’t try to adjust, maybe because the blurring just seems flat on my monitor. Do you happen to suffer from migraines or vision problems?
- pilgrim689 12y agoI agree... I didn't even realize there was a videos section between the "Try it" and the "Features" section until I read your comment.
- chrisdone 12y agoThat's because I'm waiting for the photographer to get me the full size version. This one I cribbed a low-res version of the net, but it's easily one of the best Haskell conference photos in its original form.
