It's tiny.... it looks cute.. but can you share your image size..?

I'd like to see it bigger. If your posting from your hard drive, try choosing "Save for Web" in Photoshop and go with about 700 px on the wide end.. and adjust the quality slider to keep it at the 130 limit.

Hope that helps a bit.

Is this as large as I can go by attaching image. I am new at posting images and have only gotten this far . This child is the love of my life...he is a great kid.I have 7 total ...but he is closest to my heart. Alonzo

thanks Kristy .... I agree its too small I am learning and dont know much about photoshop....I have Elements 6 . I'm sure I will get the hang of it .

Attempt #2

Wow tremendous loss of quality in what I see here ....but its larger. This image is sharp in original form. What do I need to do to post better quality images? Do I need to have the images hosted by some hosting site . Im a complete rookie when it comes to this and not too familiar with Computers either. I did manage to resize it to forum rules or I think I did with some help .....thanks Kristy. I am not familiar with photoshop either. Kinda wondering why I'm trying.............I get nice prints; I just see all the nice images on here and wonder whats up . I appreciate what I'm seeing more now however. It cant be that the shots of other posters are that much sharper in original form . It must be in the compression of the images and the fact that I am ignorant as to what to do . Any help is appreciated . I am reluctant to post with my current skills.
Thanks Alonzo
