Picture taken in Central Khalahari Game reserve, Deception valley.

I have a problem-the displayed picture I posted on the forum is enlarged to more than 100% and is not sharp. When I right click on the picture and view the picture in that window, it is displayed correctly-at 100% and is quite sharp. Why does this happen? Is it a problem with a setting on my computer? I checked other posts of other members and it is the same situation, the posted picture when I open the forum is displayed larger than 100% and when I right click on the picture and then view the picture-it is displayed at 100% and extremely sharp. How do I fix the problem? Please help.
Ben

Hi Ben,
I like the detail and the low POV you obtained in your image of the ground squirrel. As pedantic as I am to level images, I would apply a tad rotation in the clockwise direction even if it means that the ground squirrel leans forwards a wee bit.
TFS and well done.
Best wishes,
Mark.

Hi Ben,
lovely typical pose of this animal.
Nice fine detail in the fur and lovely colors.
Low perspective and good a composition.
I would slightly lighten the squirrel and give him a tad more tonal contrast.

Sorry , i have no solution for your problem.

TFS Andreas

Thanks for the comments, all valid. I checked on a different computer, it looks like a setting on the specific laptop thats causing the problem-the others were all ok. Thanks.

glad you found the answer to the issue, Ben
I too am pedantic about leveling but I think it's fine as is - the squirrel is standing upright which indicates to me that it probably was standing on a slope...nice detail and exposure, these guys are cute

surely you have seen more in your Kalahari travels? show us some of the big cats you've encountered? :w3
