Better Large ?

[Flamez]

ok so ive noticed with a few of my shots recently that they look considerably better when veiwed large , i know theres not a lot that i can do about it other than say in the writing bit that its better veiwed large but its still frustrating !

anyhow anyone else found this ?

if so show me your "better veiwed large" shot please :) just because id like to see the differences :)

my example is todays shot :



the droplets look so much better large , that said yesterdays shot looks better large too ! :(

so lets see your favorite better large shot !!

[Nod]

I find that too, especially for photos that are shot with wide angle lenses. And for my pics much of the details in the photos are lost in small images.

[Nod]

@flamez As for photos like this can of Coke in the water, a bllown up image will add the impact or the shock you want.... I think!

It's not just the size, sometimes the black background adds something extra too.

[danielle]

i happen to think they all look better up against the black background and larger sometimes, but this one i think i love bigger

[Flamez]

@elephantgirl ~ ohhh yeah that shot is deffo better veiwed large too !

youmight be right with the black background thing too !

[stephanie dp]

this one for sure!

[Helen Doyle]

[Bethany]

I have two examples of this exact thing! Sometimes I think the details just don't hit home in the smaller versions.

[Emily]

I think that most of my photos look better large.

[LisLee]

I think this looks way better viewed large.

[Flamez]

wow im having a look at all these and agree they all look better large :) so glad its not just me that feels that way !

[Judith]

I think most shots look better large and I often press the magnifying glass when browsing other people's shots.

This one of mine has a lot of detail which gets sort of lost in the smaller version.

[wahyu]

i think this one much better in larger version

I have 4 that I feel would be better large. I will post one here and links to the rest in case anyone is interested in them.

You can't really see all the color and detail in this nightscape photo until you zoom in on it.

[Courtney]

This one looks much better large:



This one too:



Actually, most of them look better large. :o)

[myla]

the textures stand out so much more when you look at it bigger, in most all cases.
but there are some more than others that it really gives a better effect.

[Emma]

I have a few I prefer large and with the black background

[Lisa Hutchinson]

I do lots of Macros as You know, Mainly because I usually do My Photos late at night when finally sitting down and I grab some random object and Photograph it, I've noticed they always look better larger maybe because the detail is shown more larger ?

For example.... This Photo which isnt great I know and My Son says it looks like a Mouse LOL



It looks better larger because the stitching shows up more when larger.

[Amy Evans]

oh my goodness! This happens to me a lot! Is it that there are small details that get lost when the photo is resized smaller?

[Kass]

My recent ice pic is a definite example - much more specific detail when you go large -

[sally czerwik-hampshire]

i have the opposite problem, i think my pics look better smaller,you can't see the flaws ;)

This one:

[MikiChelle]

But that being posted when I "view large" I only get half the pic & scroll down doesn't work. Since this is mine though I know l large brings out more of the drops.

[Geertje K.]

I find it's usually the shots with a lot of details and/or panoramic ones that are far better when viewed large.
I did these and they don't look alright if you don't look them in large view:
