Blurry photos

Note how this photo is blurry,

But when clicked, it shows properly

This is bad in chrome, but the results appear to be more acceptable in firefox with less blur.

Part of it has to do with the way the image is being scaled. If you change your browser window size up and down and watch it scale, you can see the image range back and forth from sharp to blurry.

We are being judged on the sharpness and quality of our images! Ugh

Looks fine at both resolutions in Safari.

Hmmm, yeah, it looks fine in Chrome to me as well

racer, do you perhaps have, in your browser, a setting that trades speed for image download quality? If so, that might affect one image more than another. IE used to have something like that.

I am 100% certain it is a bug!!! You have to catch the photos at a certain size. The image looks sharp or blurry depending on browser window size.

I had a second look at this in Safari, which is the only browser I have. Had both those representations you linked above up at the same time in different tabs, and resized my browser from very small to full (1920 x 1200 screen size) and I couldn't detect anything overly unusual. And even if any one sizing was blurry, which it wasn't, how would a browser know how much sharpening to apply to an image of a given size (compared to its original), even if it could do on-the-fly sharpening? Must be a Chrome display problem. Has anyone else reported a similar issue?

Racer, could you perhaps do a screen grab of each representation and then post them at 100% crop so we can see what you see?

It has nothing to do with sharpening. Thanks for trying to help, but it would be more helpful is someone with a little more expertise could look into it.
