I love the abuse, 2 from my running trail

I run on a rails2trails route and have been by these buildings hundreds of times, finally grabbed the camera got some pictures:

I think the reason is because it looses quality when u downsize them in order to post.

Nevermind, it was the Opera browser, pictures look much better in firefox.

I have a question: Why do my pictures look so much different after uploading to flickr or photobucket? These 2 shots bear little resemblance to the ones I see on my hard drive...

Nice shots.

Difference could be due to the colour profile you have your images saved in. If you have your photos in Adobe RGB they will look a lot different (generally more washed out) when you post them on the web. Generally you need to save as sRGB colour profile to have them appear correctly.

I like the building exterior shot, but the "in the window" shot is lacking interest for me. It looks really dark and loses all detail in the shadows.

Pretty much. Opera is apparently not color managed, so it's defaulting your image colors to your monitor profile instead of correctly honoring the embedded profile; Firefox 3, Safari and a couple of other browsers are properly managed. As a curiosity, what program are you using to edit/PP?
Great read on browsers, color managed images and examples here: http://www.gballard.ne​t …embeddedJPEGpro​files.html
