I'm not suggesting everyone should turn up the contrast to be able to see it at all, just that that particular shot on the boat is very overexposed and not indicative of how it looks otherwise.

While the Miqo'te does look somewhat smoother, it's still visible to me even without any editing, particularly on the characters right side of the nose where the light ends.
