Well maybe - an illustration perhaps. The image looks completely over sharpened or poorly up-sized.

I have sized it as I have done for a long time. A lot of members are having trouble finding a size that fits the computer screen. It is either too small initially or when clicked upon magnifies too much.

It looks blotchy and very high contrast. I'm on a 27inch iMac and the monitor is very good and calibrated.
I also looked at the shot on Flicker and it appears the same.

Content-wise, I like it. A telling moment well captured.

Post by: Eric Myrvaagnes on August 09, 2016, 02:41:18 pm: So maybe the post processing isn't up to the Pixel-Peepers' Standard. So what?

The image has a lot going for it. The variety of expression and body language invite lots of interpretations.
I like it.
