Have no idea what you mean "potato." Check how you are compressing, and reconsider your "72 ppi" step. Pixels for web (DPI, dots per inch, is a printing term): www.photoshopessentials.com/essentials/the-72-ppi-web-resolution-myth/

I think the forum software is compressing the images for the preview size and deminishing the quality in the process. However I feel like some images suffer more from it than others, but I've seen pretty devastating examples as well, where I thought some image had significant IQ flaws or would need some serious color-corrections, and when I opened the original uploads in Photoshop it became clear that it was just due to that compression. Perhaps it's an auto conversion to a different colorspace or some additional JPEG compression, but it did look pretty bad in some cases.

EDIT: Here's my attempt at showing the difference:

I'm aware that there's some Browser-specific color-management in place which can be altered, but my images look pretty comparable to my Photoshop previews on flickr (at least they don't stray in the same way as here), so I don't want to adjust my Browser just in order to have preview images on dprevived match up...

Wonder if this this why Adobe defaults to 96dpi on the jpeg export.

One of those "the more I look at it the more I like it" images.
B&W was a good choice because of the importance of the lines.

I agree - lots to like about this one, even though it's not a shot that grabs my attention immediately. What I like best about it, is the feeling I get of a symbiosis between natural and artificial aspects - makes it really interesting and worthy of taking several looks! Very well done. I'm saddened to hear it was inspired by or coincided with something so tragic and I'm sorry for your loss.

I don't see any potato made thing in your picture. The leaf is a bit oversharpened and there's some sensor dust visible, the worst at left of the leaf.
But This picture looks good in my eyes.

You don't see the weirdness around the leaf edges? Another sensor I gotta clean...

I do not see any weirdness looking at original size.

Sorry for not being clear, in the thumbnail.
