I agree, none are really right, and right is probably just not possible
in JPEGs. One the other hand, they were all being subjected to careful
scrutiny. All I'm looking for is a technique that won't look bad when
browsing through a gallery of images.

I've added two more samples. 12 is Gaussian Blur of 0.4 at full size
followed by stepwise downsizing. 13 adds a little sharpening at the
reduced size.
12 isn't bad, but 13 gets too edgy in some trees, although not in others.
