I'm not sure what is going on with the sharpening on the photos on this site lately?? This looks super soft to me?? Any thoughts administrators???

I wish you took sharper images ;-)

Love this shot. The ultimate Ptarmigan shot with killer habitat.

If the bird is beautiful, the BG is even more stunning and really makes the image stand out.

Glen, as for a long time, images look less sharp after posting than in PS, so I just make sure ether look pretty sharp before posting.
No clue as why, but nothing to do with the software upgrade. I noticed it for a long time now.

did your file exceed 200K ?

This is a gorgeous image, with such an amazing surrounding / habitat I would open the image a bit more.

Lovely image with the striding pose and colorful background.

Hi Glenn, I find this to be very pleasing. The bird is gorgeous and the habitat with the flowers makes this special. I like the pose and the good head angle. Well done and thanks for sharing.

If I remember correctly, this happens if the image is larger than 195 kB. Cool find and setting, BTW.

[Glenn Bartley]

Yep it was over 200kb...So the mystery is solved...

If you have a file that is smaller than 195 kB you could change the attachment.
