Viewed as presented, it looks fine. If it's blown up to say 200%, it becomes effectively a 36 dpi image. Artifacts will appear at that level of pixelization that may not be present in the hi-res image. I firmly believe that it's impossible to determine image quality from anything that small. In my opinion, all one can really derive from web images is an overall judgement of composition, color and framing. Paul ========== Paul, I take web images with a grain of salt also. Often I see pixelization that I am sure is not there in a larger not-saved-for-web file.
William, in the larger file, I still see pixelization. Around areas mentioned by others -- especially around the nostrils, also around the neck under the chin. But that is all it appears to be to me. It's a nice photo, if a bit bland. The kid is very young, so I would expect to see unblemished skin. Not surprising at all. But it is a perfectly decent portrait. Personally, I think I would have gone for a bit more color. Or slightly more dramatic lighting. But I imagine the parents will be quite happy with it. Marnie aka Doe
