@ "roz"
I've already set my uploads to original size, full quality, all that goodness. Still doesn't look great. The bottom line is that Photobucket's compression algorithms are too aggressive. I'm in IT and I understand why you do it. But Flickr simply does it better. I'm done testing and have all the results I need to make my decision. Maybe if you uncluttered your UI, made everything nicer looking, had better exploration features, and had better compression I would consider switching back, but you guys seem to be stuck in the 1990's as far as your hosting goes. Sorry for being so blunt.

Second picture is again my favorite. Very crisp, defined and colour rendition is great. Note his "chopping" hand's detail in the creases in his fingers. I can see his left eyeball better in that one as well.
