I love these old rusty-crusties, but you saved your image with a ton of compression, which is killing a good shot. There are compression artifacts all over the place in this photo. It's most prominent on the door, but the compression is taking away valuable detail throughout the image. With a file size of only 30k, you had a ton of overhead to fit a lot more detail in this. Compression kills detail. Always use the least amount of compression you can get away with and still come in under the challenge limit
The lesser issue is the image size. You could have used up to 800 pixels on the long edge, which would have again fit much more detail into the scene. If you choose to do a re-edit, I would love to see the results. |
