Dear Bradford,

Your image presents the viewer with an expansive scene, and you certainly mastered its presentation... :)

That said, and to answer your question, I know I do not attend to the smaller image when I present any image within this forum. I simply let Photoshop give me an image while using "File > Save for Web & Devices..." but I do make a smaller file first, such as reducing my working print file to be the width and dimensions I wish to present, and I adjust the resolution to 100 to prevent Photoshop from choking during the process. I then save the resultant 72 ppi file, drag it back into Photoshop, assign a web based profile to the image after I open it, save it again, throw it into my server, and finally paste the files location into some text.

Although I work with large files, and I allow Photoshop to create an induced resolution, artefacts are present within the reduced image, but I do ignore them. I could sharpen the image a wee bit more, but I don't. Your image looks very good, as presented...

Dear Joel,

Ditto... :)

Nicely done.

Dear David,

Thank you for your comments... :)

This image does sparkle along its lower boundary, and although I was rather lucky to capture this image, complete with the massive downpour of rain and hail, my original intent was to capture the leading edge of the storm front as it marched through, but alas, the front collapsed when I was ready to capture the scene.

Sometimes, I am only allowed to remember what I originally viewed, through my viewing card...

Again, merci...

Excellent stuff. The early bird definitely got the worm there! :D
