Image Quality

I have just noticed that "Blogger" is seriously down-rezzing embedded images. For example, the Black-tailed Godwit image in my previous post has an "on page" (thumbnail) file size of 14.4KB, the enlarged version (after "clicking" on image) is 58.27KB, but the image linked to on my PBase website is actually 329.38KB. This means that even the enlarged image on "Blogspot" is a load of crap!! Why are they so mean with storage space?

To view the PBase image look here:
