SLIDE 28 Content Quality & Display Considerations
Mysterious RSS Icon Block Quality Font Colors/Size
SLIDE 29 Images: Quality, Aspect Ratio, Accessibility
There is nothing wrong with this picture however there is a blur factor. Use original source and crop and try to avoid going small to big. An important aspect of color on the Web for both low vision and colorblind users is sufficient contrast between foreground (text or graphics) and the background.
