Hi Robert,
The image is a bit small. Do you know you can post at 1024 x 800 pixels? It is difficult to critique an image at this size! Nice landing pose but the bird appears quite soft and the overall IQ is not great. Is this a big crop? What type of PP do you do? I like the position of the bird in the frame. I would also clone out the black dot near the foot.

I processed this photo at 1024 on longest side. I do understand why it got smaller. I pp with Photoshop elements. I follow a Receipe i got from Art Morris. I do not understand IQ, unless it means Image quality. I do not understand why. I have been processing using his method for quite some time. but that why i am posting in here to make my photos pop.

I store my photos in Photobucket and use the link to post photos, but i see that my photo size gets changed in there. It no wonder others have stated my image size is small.

I guess i have been doing it wrong for awhile. where do you place yours after PP?

Awesome pose, action, comp. I agree the image is too small for proper critique as far as IQ (yes, image qualty) goes. Looks like it has been compressed to a smaller size.

Are there perhaps different upload sizes that you can choose from with Photobucket?
