You may download this photo in several versions.

• This is the best image for on-screen viewing (full frame).
  Full frame, reduced resolution (677x1000 pixels), 124K
  • Try this one first: JPEG
  • If that is too dark on your screen, try this: JPEG
    MacOS and MS Windows use different "gamma" values (1.8 vs 2.2, respectively) which express where the mid-range brightness is. Images that look OK on Macs can be too dark on PCs, hence this separate version.
• Full frame, full resolution (2584x3817 pixels).
  • Uncompressed TIFF, 24.5MB (yes)
    This is best for uncompromised printing or further image manipulation.
    Your browser will offer to download this file for you since it cannot display TIFF files directly.
  • JPEG, 2MB.
    This version has the same number of pixels but with whatever image degradation introduced by JPEG (lossy) compression. Probably more than fine for printing. This is far too large to view directly in the browser, without an awful lot of scrolling.
• Cropped (630x750 pixels) JPEG, 108KB
