There is a proper way to resize down without causing that distortion. That was what I was asking about. How did you resize them down?
BTW, my photo service resizes for me. Indeed, it gives me multiple choices of sizes. I upload the original and it takes care of the rest. The name of the company is smugmmug. I suspect others do the same.
Nobody touches my pictures but me!
Amir, that picture of my niece has also the effect of the sun! It is an happy accident in my book!
The resolution is only 640 by 480 pixels, and the resizing was extremely minimal without any touches!
Plus the sun effect. You get what you get with Bob!

Photography and Cinema are in ART! I studied it, I ate it, I developed it (I worked in dark chambers mixing acids!); they are a huge part of my life!
For me technicality is secondary; it is the subject, the composition, the accidental coincidence and circumstancial emotions that are the true ART, the eye of the lens!
Every person is different about photography! For example, take yourself, your shots are very detailed and beautiful, with the right lighting and all that Jazz... And it is the subject of your picture that gives the emotion, the essence! And you love wildlife which I also love very much myself, as nature and people as well.
Wait you ain't seen nothing yet! But my sharing extends to the sharing of others as well!
And I was top critic of my classes while studying ARTS!
{I am just warming up to What's Best to come! Whatch out when I'll start rolling!}
Also, as you probably know, some of the best shots in photograpy are pure accidents! And some of them were taken from inexpensive camera and lenses. It is the soul of the picture that we are trying to capture; and only your heart and your eye with the right touch of a finger can overcome any technicality!
As in Audio, the very Best in Life is sometimes purely accidental! And the mood of the moment, at the right spot, in the right space of time is much more important than any precise calculations from standards of measurements!
...Unless you build bridges that have to withstand earthquakes... Then ART here is married with safety! {I was to become an Architect, but I end up an Earth forester, a gardener on a grand scale!}
Music and Pictures are my greatest passions! Psychology and Philosophy as well...
Communication is my greatest tool! In real life as on the Internet (which is also real life)!
And if one knows that best, it's you Amir!
* I am just so glad to be here on this site! And among some of the very bests in the bizz!
