Thanks for all the comments. This is the first time I've submitted a photo, so I really appreciate it. The compression problem was an acident. I normally edit my photos in PhotoShop but I resized this one in MS Photo Editor and I didn't realize that it chooses a default jpeg compression that is incredibly low (it doesn't show the settings as you're saving the file). Oh well. I'm just glad I finally got around to submitting something.
I like this shot more, now that I have looked at it several times. My first impression was just "dark". I like the composition and the fact that the shadow of the person is prominent. lhall-6
Big compression problem here. It's only 12k, you can go up to 150k! It might be a camera limitation though. This would be very good if it weren't overcompressed.
could be good - looks like it might have been, but you've over compressed it and saved it too small (notice all the large blocks, particularly in the dark areas) Hopefully you can get some hints on how to avoid this in the future (please contact me if you want some advice ) Gordon
This is a really cool image... I love what I see here.. this image definitely has some compression issues. there is a lot of detail loss because of that... however, the lack of detail here... this has a nice surreal look to it... I would love to see the original on this one and help figger out what may have happened... = 8 - setzler
Really neat idea, I am guessing, but I think the post processing might be overly done. Along the bricks to the left of the silhouette, seem blotchy colored. This might been partly due to the sun reflection, but it hurts the shot's effectiveness. 7 Swash
lousy quality...but exelent lighting and framing...wish I could get a better look at it...it is very arty this way ... I guess... is it done with a solarize effect?? was it meant to b this way?? I am slowly falling for this photo...takes a while for it to sink in
