Artifacts and more artifacts due to excessive compression

With digital zoom it's unfortunately the camera.
The first shot looks fine to me, but in the second it looks like digital zoom was used - hence the artifacts.
The best thing to do is switch off the digital zoom and get a bit closer.

I agree - the digital zoom ruins the second shot.

The first one is nice.

I post a lot of pics,,,from photobucket,,,,,,anyone looking at a posted pic should be aware that most of the time it`s the website compressing the photo very hard,,,,

I got into this at dpreview last week,,,posted a pic and had a forumer look at it ,,he saw lots of artifacts,,,,i went to the full image on my computer,,,opened it with PSE2 and blew it up well past 100%,,,,there were no artifacts there,,,,but the posted pic was full of them..

So if you see a posted pic,,,and it`s full of artifacts,,,,it may just be the website host,,,and not the actual photo after all...
