Looks great Matt. Good pixel size for PT (1000 x 750), and good clarity for 200KB. But you really don't need more than 72 dpi for viewing on a monitor.

Thanks to those of you who help make this a fun and friendly forum.

Why is it that some thumbnails are way smaller than others for a comparable picture size? Compare say MattyB's with Jastin's for example.
