Hi Joe.
You post a strange shot here, the POV makes it look a s double headed halk dragon :) I like your shot.
But I have seen you posted a 788x774 resolution picture, which contains a lot of information, only in 75 Kb size, what makes the quality drop a lot. You should take advantage of the 200 Kb. offered by TN, using p.e. "Save to web" command, or adjusting the quality of jpg until it is closest to 200 Kb. We would see 3 times more of details and colours.
Hope this helps.
Regards, Felipe.
PD: A small note would be welcome too.
