A few from a tourney I shot over the weekend. Shot with my Siggy 70-200 2.8. Enjoy :D

On a side note, I hate how soft my pictures look when I upload them to flickr and post them here. Is there a better way to do it so they look more like the originals on the web?

Did you do some PP or was this honestly the way the light was?

Yes, they look very "contrasty" and overshaprened or oversaturated on my monitor. Maybe an effect of "Flikr" that the OP notes??

They look plenty sharp to me, try bumping the contrast down a bit?

There was a little PP done in Lightroom. I bumped up the "clarity" slider a little which is kind of like a "defog" and bumped up the "vibrance" slider a little as well. Nothing more. The light was fairly harsh. I'll try and play with the contrast a little like jdmsds suggests.

I use Lightroom as well and have found that you need to be really careful with the Clarity and Vibrance sliders. Sometimes even a small tweak can be too much. I rarely use them and if I do it is actually to reduce the levels by 1 or 2. Your pics do look sharp but post one without any vibrance or clarity adjustment and let's see what it looks like.
