When you hear the term 'high-res' thrown about with such abandon when it comes to images for web use, have you ever stopped to think just how big or how high quality and image meant for the web needs to be?
There's an assumption that high-contrast images are more dynamic, more compelling, more inviting. Have a go at some low-contrast photography. You might surprise yourself with the results.

In the spirit of Christmas, and good cheer, and giving, and not being grouchy, and trying not to tear out our hair with too many things to do, we thought that we’d give you an extra week to submit your photos to our December competition. This means that you now have until 29 December to snap a gorgeous photobook-winning portrait.
For the full details of the competition, have a look at the competition page, and then submit your portraits to our Flickr pool for our perusal.
Have fun!
