Critique: Not Quite Square The Same Colour As The Background

Image did not live up to expectations.  Background is #F7EDE2, but image was #F7EDE3.  Artist said there would be interesting compression artifacts but there was only blue.  2 pixel height difference was not visible but made for tight fit.  Packaging was appalling: 218% extra filesize over PNG caused late delivery.

F——- WOULD NOT VIEW AGAIN.  DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS ARTIST.

This critique has no effect as it doesn’t name any Artists in any paragraphs.

I liked the minimalism.

I think the one-bit shift in the blue channel (which was not intentional, and indeed a compression artifact) is indeed interesting, as I’d expected there to be no artifacts at all. (Thanks for analyzing that for me; I hadn’t compared the JPEG to the original PNG to see if they were different at all.)
