Thank you, Brent, for your kind comment! I think with a limit of 250kb (or, at least, 200, as you stipulate) we could improve the quality of many an entry here and that it would be more according to digital photography nowadays as well as to most of us using meanwhile fast DSL connections; but quite a few here think that would stress pbase's generosity with the Challenge? (I'm already hearing their negative reactions to my remark...) -- db.

Well you did a great job with the 150k limit on this one Daniel- very impressive! I so much wish we could raise the limit to even 200k, I think that would help a lot on some images.

I, OTOH, am convinced you would notice the difference, Gerald; especially in the noisy underside of the lowest balcony row. Thanks a lot for your friendly comment! -- db.

There is really much detail in this shot but I think I would not really see much difference if the jpg quality would be higher. Impressive curves, and the lady in red makes an excellent contrast. -Gerald
