- Keep the score chain even for landscapes; it still controls quality.
- For people, describe age and clothing plainly after the chain.
- Pony composition tags (wide shot, from below) work.

How to fix it
Add mist, volumetric light, depth haze and a named light source.
Soft faces in wide shots
Why it happens
Small faces at 1 MP.
How to fix it
Inpaint the face at full resolution or move to a closer framing.
