Something a little different (compared to what's been posted on this thread so far).

It's not one of mine though. It was taken on a canon film camera by a friend of mine. I just scanned it and tidied it up a bit. It didn't need much.

I was hoping to get some advise. When I saved my picture to be of a size for the site I lost a great deal of clarity. The original picture is very sharp and very focused yet the copy I loaded is very soft. I do not use Photo Shop so I was unable to use the suggestions provided else where on the site. Any help would begreatly appreciated.

I don't do as much sports shooting as I probably could, but I got these last week at Charger's training camp:

I like the last one, primarily because of the way Ladanian Tomlinson (who's the running back in the first shot) went out of his way to engage the kids who were there for his autograph. I think it shows a side of an NFL superstar that we rarely get to see...

Use your own image host. Using POTN's upload thing limits your size to under 100kb.

Use imageshack who allow up to 1 mb(1024kb). Of course you are limited to 800 pixels on the longest end.
