Thank you for fixing the picture, How do I get the same picture as I see it to the forum. When I have it on the screen, or even preview it, it looks 4x8 or so. Then I upload them to the site you get a friggin poster. LOL. The bird, I think is a sparrow or Finch, Im pretty sure its a little brown finch. I do not know the names of a lot of birds. My father got me into bird feeding, or watching. I got mostly Doves this time of year and few other seed eaters. The local squirrls keep my feeder pretty low or empty so I feed on the ground. Charleston has some pretty nice little birds. Seagulls a pletny and Pelicans. I got one Pelican trained for feeding at the pier here. I was reading about how pelicans age and what found out was horrible. If what I read is true. I read that Pelicans vision is the main reason they age and dye. Their vision starts to go and they start to miss fish. I think that is terrible, but I guess its Gods way. anyway Thank you for all your help and comments. I post on the Tesoro Forum, but I also love photography. I wish I could get that new Nikon DX1. man!!that is a real treat Digital 35SLR. Take care everyone Ronnie

I don't know what photo program you use but you have to resize it from the get go. Look at your options and see the one that says resize or something like that. Change it to 640 on the long side. That gives you a picture that fits on the puter screen pretty well. You can not go by how it looks on your puter, you have to look at the pixel size.
Then you should make your adjustmants and save it for the web as the lowest quality jpg you can. You will not be able to tell the difference between a high quality and low quality on the puter screen so why make them slow to load.
I am posting the picture you posted at 640, both as you posted it and after I adjusted the contrast and sharpened it a little. This was a quick job and I am sure it could be improved but this took about 15 seconds <img src="/metal/html/tongue.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":b">
