Still learning but I need to know how to size for clarity. One is 8X10 300dpi. The other is 4X6 300 dpi. I realize that 300 dpi is for prints. I want to know which one looks better on screen when I save (store original). All criticizing is accepted and duly noted. And my prints turn out Awesome...! Just wondering if there is a dramatic difference....Thanks all
The mantis missed the bee by 1/10000 of a second, and the hummer missed stabbing the mantis and the bee tried to sting the Hummer...!! LOLOL
First shot is sized to 8X10. Second one is 4X6 same post for both....Forgot to mention that … My bad

Bottom, slightly sharper.

Yup. But not enough to worry about.
The only difference between these two files is the pixel resolution. One is 3000x4000 pixels, larger than anyone's high-def monitors. The second image is 1800x1200px that is closer to the screen size many of us use. DPI has no impact on the digital display. In fact, you can create image file where this parameter does not even exist as well as setting the value to 0,1,5,10,55,101 and another other numeric value, all with ZERO impact on the visual presentation of the digital image. Examples are presented in this this discussion:

The Mantis will go after the hummer as well....
Thanks everyone, having a blast learning new techniques. Can get a little daunting at times but fun none the less..
The only difference I can find is the resolution of detail on the larger image. In reality that amounts to the difference between Wow! and WOWWWW!!!!!!!!! Just one item; the shadow climbing the 'Mantis' back that leaves only the very top of the starboard tail spike in the light. Amazing, simply amazing. Thank you so much.

This should be obvious to anyone who clicks through to the download and uses the maximum enlargement view....
The first image displays much larger than the second image.
That's the only difference the different sizes cause, in this case.
An image prepared for printing at 300 ppi and then viewed large on-screen at monitor resolutions (around 100 ppi is typical), can appear "over sharpened".
Below is an example. It looks quite nice in the small preview size and pretty good when downloaded but not maximized... but appears over-sharpened at the larger display size. That's because it was sized for printing (8x10, 300 ppi), not for online display. When viewed online at the maximum possible here on UHH (i.e., on a computer monitor), it displays about 3X larger than intended.
P.S. I rarely upload full size images here or anywhere else online. I limit most to 700 or 800 pixels on the long side, large enough for online display but not for printing or any other purpose... to prevent copyright infringements.
What a great photo. Congratulations.

Nice waxwing. We rescued a day old chick from the road and raised it. Eventually it went to Princton U to be part of an aviary. Fantastic little birds.
Took them into LR and looked at them 1:1 side by side. The bottom pic is significantly sharper than the top one.
