Hopefully...a story?

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.

Resized and hopefully better?

Hi,

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.

Agreed on the post processing.  Too much clarity? 

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

A modern-day Medusa?

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.

The so what is:  It takes away from the strength of the image.

too many stories.....

It looks like I used too much clarity and something I will be wary of in the future. Thanks for the feedback and a lesson learned.
