For instance, the battens in the mizzen mainsail are clear and crisp in the Flickr hosted photo above, the battens are fuzzy here. General sharpness is enough to see window details in the buildings on the Flickr, they look out of focus here.
And the color, especially the low sun looks far more vibrant and saturated in the flickr photo.
Thanks for everyones input. Nothing wrong with the photo loader here and I'll still use it for ease for many photos, just not going to get the same photo.
