If you consider the medium to be so inferior, why bother to post in the first place?

Is a monitor a medium?

[Leigh]

We're 98% genetically identical to Chimpanzees. Sometimes 2% can be significant.

In many case the 2% is not obvious.

Simple -- for communication and sharing images. Just because I reconize the screen's limitations does not mean I will not use the medium for my stated reasons.

Asher -- For the purpose of examining images, the computer screen can get that 98% you spoke of. But as for comparing screen images to my prints, one would be lucky at 33%, IMO.

Hopefully I will be able to track down a copy of a photo I have been wanting to share for awhile -- and get myself back on track/topic here!

My bad for asking for larger size. Let's get back to prints!

Thanks!

no bad, and thanks for the nice words Asher!!!!!! Anyways, I use the Large Format Photography Forum pic uploader to upload my images, that is why they are in 'thumbs' format, it is frustrating. I was using hosts like photo bucket to just post the images without the "thumbs" mess, but photo bucket has removed so many of my photos, i don't deal with them anymore. I also post pics less than 1000px wide on forums because of the potential that I might sell or run the image for a client at a later date...

Nathan,

Could you explain your thoughts behind this duo of ladies in your picture. The one in the foreground is sharply focussed and rather frightening, while the one in the b.g. seems so much more elegant but, blurred.
