Fotki ups and downs
 

I had to resize the first one down from over 500KB. ;)

Pixel rights today! Stop interpolated resizing and cruelty to pixels...
 

resize? They used to burn people at the stake for that! post full one :-) Unless it is blurry and no extra detail, or [here comes the clue train]

crop the image to feature the faces and nice bits relevant to the image and audience :-)

Set your pixels free.

The thing is, I really like the framing on that picture and didn't want to crop it. I truly wanted to post the whole 540K original image, but there's this 300K image attachment limit... This was a real rock-and-a-hard place picture, actually.

I suppose that's the one advantage with folks linking out to image bank (or whatever it's called) or other external sites -- no reductions either by cropping or resizing. Of course, if the image ever moves at (or from) that external site, the links are busted here at OCC, even months down the line. So yet another losing proposition.

When I get a chance with PShop (tomorrow evening, perhaps), I'll crop it and upload again for you and you can opine away. I have a feeling some of the vibrancy of the picture will be lost, but we'll see.

Okay, 0o9i8u7y, here it is the center part at full density cropped to just fit under the 300K limit. Whatcha think?
