Yeah, strange fuzz around the cabs (which are awesome by the way). Did you lower your resolution or change the image size settings? Steve

I wonder why are the pixels so visible. The only explanation that pops into my mind is that you took a larger picture and cropped from it the cabs. Try taking closer pics, maybe using the macro (a flower icon usually) feature of your camera.
But in order to solve the problems, you better tell us what you do step by step and thus some of us will find out what's wrong.
Beautiful cabs, especially the first and the last one.

ok i have an etsy site and they only allow a certain size picture so i was trying to take the picture father away and cropping it into a smaller one. I guess the one mistake. As for image size, i don't know which one i should be using. i have it on 3:2 ratio Now if i take it in macro, the pics too big for etsy. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr help please.

Use the Macro, setting.... and then crop it more if need be. You can also resize the picture, what photo editing software are you using?
Using Paint, I went into the Stretch/Skew menu under Image, and chose something less than 100%. Usually 50% for both height and width... and then go from there, depending on how big I want the picture to be.

Photoshop is a pain, from my limited experience.
Your pics look alright in terms of lighting and whatnot, so that's good. If you open Paint, then open your picture file, you can then go to the Image menu and Stretch/skew. Do 50% or 60%, and then save the picture. That will make them smaller, without being pixelated.
