I've been frustrated with what seems to be an inevitable loss of sharpness when posting here. I'm using CS5 to resize my images to the max allowable 800 px with bicubic sharper option. This seems to create a better version than what I see once uploaded to DPC. Any suggestions out there?

Simple but nice with the brown and white which find their common tints in the sugar. Don't worry: you will NOT get the according ribbon.

Great DOF, Great tones - trying to figure out if theres actually liquid in the cup or not. Doesn't seem like it.

Great image.
