[Bug] Reduced image quality in Water4 caused by #9459

[Zitchas]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the bug

PR #9459, in addition to updating some copyright issues, also replaced several pictures. Two of the pictures are, as described in the PR, virtually un-distinguishable. Unfortunately, Water4 is decidedly brighter and more pink, and I think is just overall worse quality.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to PR Fix copyright for unsplash images #9459
2. Click on the changes to see the comparison
3. See error

Expected Behavior

If we're replacing a picture, I would expect the picture to be equal to or superior in quality; not a downgrade.

If we need to replace that picture to adhere to copyright, then I would suggest that we do our own color balancing work on the image to bring it back inline with the old version.

Here is water4 with saturation reduced by 50% and hue shifted to the left 10% using imagemagick:

As the pixabay version is public domain, editing the image would not be a problem.

EDIT: In case people want to use this image in particular, my edit is CC0.

Indeed, the original image has a better quality (in my opinion)

The new image seems to be way too much saturated. Maybe the change should be reverted? Or reworked on?

I think Ziproot's edit is a passable replacement.
