I felt it missed a "before/after" comparison

Here's Hubble views of the same object:

Here's miscellaneous other views (since the JWST deep field is 2.4' wide, I beleve that this map link encloses that image, barely):

I feel the same way. This picture looks very similar to images we have already seen. It would have been nice if they showed off the IR capture.
Why would it look any different? It's a deep field image. There's nothing to see except galaxies.

Also, this is the IR capture. The telescope can't see anything else.
