Boy! Have I noticed that the D500 is great for wild life, astronomy, and sports. However, I also notice very little D500 Portrait, people, or landscape photos. Why is this apparently the case?

I don't do a lot of portrait photography but the D500 more than covers my needs.

I got out for a little bit with the D500 and an older AF-S 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G kit lens. I really enjoy this budget lens.

By the way... what's the secret to posting images that look like the originals? All these JPEGS I converted from RAW files are very sharp but look very soft once I upload them. This applies to images I attach to e-mails, too. They always seem to look poor. (2020 MacBook Pro, BigSur 11.6.5, Safari 15.4)

You may need to apply a bit of shapening to the JPEG after it is resized for the web.

Those JPEGs that I've resized for the web still look perfectly sharp in their reduced size. When I upload them to the web or to e-mail messages, they lose it somehow.

I think about this every time I see someone post a tack-sharp image on the forum. I have plenty of tack-sharp images, but it seems like I've never been able to have an uploaded image look that way...

I know what you mean. Just the export to JEPG affects the color and sharpness and no telling what the compression and decompression of the site does. Many images are not that sharp but have good subject isolation and a pleasing background. The tip about sharpening after resize was from a video by Steve over a Back country Gallery.
Maybe post up an example and get ideas from others.
