longimanus hard do give hints for something I couldnt do better... even the strong overexposed sun works well on this pic, love his expression, his joy over the bubbles. Lovely!

Richard Got to agree, these are hard to fault, but don't know what they look like on your computer so I don't know.

One thing that can make a difference (I'm assuming your using Photoshops 'save for web' feature), is to click the "ICC colour profile" tick box, I find this helps with black and white photos especially.

There is another reason for for images not looking so good on the web and that's that when you upload a photo to a web site the image is resampled/re-sized and who ever wrote the web site has a choice of how much compression to add (just the same way you do when saving on your computer). Photoblog isn't too bad for this, but sometimes you do notice it a bit. Facebook is a killer and reduces the file size of your images considerably.

Also do you shoot and edit in RAW format? If so this is another reason why images look better on your PC. RAW uses 12, 14 or 16 bits per pixel, jpeg only uses 8.

JuliaGotz do you use FIREFOX? firefox has a color problem, which can easily be fixed.
here is the link in the forum to explain how to do it.

DancingDolphin Impossible task! I sent my kids a photo at Christmas... Zach put it on his desktop... when he was here I saw it... it looked NOTHING like it did on MY computer. Even worse is that they don't PRINT the same!

makaid I have this same issue sometimes. Best thing to do, if you are using photoshop, is use the save for web and devices tool. What it does is allow you to preview the image before you save it to a 8-bit Jpg optimized for the web. It will also decrease file sizes making your uploads extremely quick!
