As I posted on your Longwood series thread, I think it's the black borders. From what I can see you've followed everything perfectly correctly and, thus, I think something about the borders on these photos is doing it. Can you post one in a version w/o the borders to Flicker and try it. I was just on my way over here to look because I saw this one on Flickr and it looks so much crisper and cleaner on Flickr than it does here. Not that it doesn't look good here, too but I immediately noticed the difference, having seen it here first.
P.S. deirdre, I didn't see your post. Thanks for looking into it more, if you are able to. My bet is them borders.
