This is all getting very confusing, I'll have one more go:
1) There were supposed to be two pictures posted, one showing the dog and the other one cropped to show that almost no detail has been lost with such a severe crop; this is what has made me happy with the camera.
2) I know the photo is poor, it is just one I happened to have around when I thought I'd make the post as it serves the purpose -- see 1) above.
3) I messed up the showing of the pictures and my comment to Ulfric was not meant to imply 'how did you make the picture cropped?' but 'how did you get it to be shown on your post?'. The reason I have now found is that only I couldn't see the picture due to software problems on my PC.
4) I didn't intend to take up a lot of space on the forum with the size of picture, it was just how it turned out.
5) Had everything gone to plan, all would have been clear however it didn't, it wasn't and I surely regret posting it in the first place.
I'll try and explain what I mean another time and in another way so let's draw a line under this one and I'll put it down to experience (or inexperience perhaps).
