Description

Taken a little earlier than my other GW Bridge image and converted to BW in CS3. I really liked the look of the sky in this one.
1 second exposure at f/22, ISO 100, Manfrotto tripod and Sigma 10-20 at 10mm.
OK, so why do my images look so fuzzy on this site? This looks way sharper blown up at 100% in CS3 on my computer.

Beautiful image Aleksandra!
The reason why your image might look a little fuzzy compared to how it looks in your computer *could* be because of the size.
For a cleaner look here in BP, you want to resize the smaller side of your photos to 480 pixels. I remember once I read this a few months ago, and change my bp photos to that, they look much better! Also, some people use bicubic sizing when they are resizing, but lately, I prefer smart sizing, as it doesn't sharpen the image so much, especially when I want it to be nice and soft.
I hope this helps! :) #4547699

Hey, thanks everyone for your nice comments! And thanks Vanessa for your idea about the sharpness. I will definitely give it a shot and see if it looks better. #4547835
