A LITTLE BACKGROUND: I've been taking pictures since 1958 when my grandmother bought me my first camera, a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye. I like to think that those simple beginnings brought me to where I am today. I currently sell my work domestically and internationally through two websites. I'm self-trained but have taken a class here and there on lighting techniques and darkroom operations. With the dawn of digital imaging, I have left the darkroom in favor of digital editing.
THE EMOTION OF PHOTOGRAPHY: I now have the time (I'm retired) to travel and explore with my cameras. While I have been known to take more than 5,000 photos in a single day, I try to be selective with my scenes. The only time I take a large number of shots is when photographing wildlife. That said, I have spent hours in a single location; shooting from different angles and changing light. The overriding factor in this is how I felt about the scene. What was I thinking, feeling, and remembering while I viewed the subject? There is a line in the Star Trek IV "The Voyage Home" where the testing computer asks Spock "How do you feel?" That is how I approach my photography. I take notes about the scene and what I was feeling and why I stopped to take those photos. I do the same thing in post-production processing. What I felt plays a part in how I crop the scene and adjust the lighting.
Last year I began writing stories and poetry to mate with my photographs. All of those works have been copyrighted and are now being published into a series of photo/poetry books. Here is an example: "Abandoned Buckboard"
THOUGHTS? COMMENTS?
Give the vertical aspect, consider adding a file at least 1200-pixels 'wide' if you desire anyone to view / read the details of your attachment.
The example is readable and is 1200 x 1800. I'm not sure why this is an issue.

Because you didn’t save the original so all we have is the UHH generated thumbnail.
Quite nice - keep up the good work!!
This speaks from the heart. I like it.

The site used to 'compress' thumbnails down to 800px wide. But, that has been changed to an undocumented 1200px ish size. Either way, this thumbnail is even smaller than either limit.

Or he, at least, could have checked download so that we could enlarge the tiny print---assuming we were interested enough to do so.

Not worth the time. I’ll say the photography and poetry are on par. Take that as you will.

Much smaller on my screen. The EXIF data for you image shows 475x950.
Anyhow, I suspect based on what you've written your photo's should be excellent. Post more of them and check the size and click on D/L so the a larger image can be viewed. No need to send up the full size photo, just big enough to fill a standard screen, 1200x800 or 1920x1080 is a good choice.
I never put as much thought/care into my photo's as you, but enjoy looking at photo's from people that do just that.

I have a feeling we're seeing the 'as is' size of the attachment, where possibly the wrong file was selected for upload. Hopefully, our OP can resolve on their end.
This recent example shows what a thumbnail 1187px 'wide' would look like within UHH:

I can read it fine, no worries.
Some here are just too ready to criticize everything, except what they post themselves . LOL
Cheers and best to you.

He fancies himself the forum cop.... like the picture of the N.C. building.... he complained it wasn't in the B&W section.
I'm sure this comment will end up in the 'basement,' not the 'attic.'

Do we have a basement?
On my laptop I can see the image and read the text with no issues.
I like it the way it is.
Also, it is easy enough to enlarge a screen if 100% isn't enough.
