Holy [Bleeeeep!]! I didn't know that Grandpa was actually Wilford Brimley! j/k

Eddie - It appears that the photo was compressed when you re-sized it, that's why it's pixelated and is a lower resolution.

If you use photo editing software such as Photoshop, and are saving the image as a JPEG file, select highest quality when doing so and that should help.

p.s. If you want, e-mail the original photo to me at the addy in my profile and I'll see if I can help it a little.
