Use your photo editing program to resize the photos to 640 X 480 at 72 resolution. That is a good web size photo.

If you have Windows XP, you may have a program called Photo Editor. You can use that to resize your photos. Were you using auto settings or manual? BTW, hope you're feeling better.

Spoon,
Don't be too hard on yourself. These are some good Shots Mate. The "Nudi" is really good.

How could we not be nice about those? Those are some great shots!
 
Spoon,
Looks like your having some fun!! Heres a personal tip. If you doing anything macro, set you camera to F8.0, Aperature Priority & Cloudy. It seams to work well for me! With the higher F stop you will have more in focus. AKA maybe the back of that nudi you shot would be in focus too! Also remember if you have a subject that's not swimming away, make sure you zoom out as wide as you can. That way you can get closer!! Have fun & keep shooting :)
