im excited! i cant decide what to enter though! i have a question about hte requirements... you said not to downsize, but does that mean you want an uncropped image? or you just want the highest resolution possible?

[Lars Kurth]

I have been pondering for days and can't make up my mind.

@Marty: Do you want JPEGs or CR2's (RAW)

Marty, would you verify receipt of my photo submission?
I received an error message when I sent it but the message didn't give the reason for the error..

Thanks for your time.

Here is the one I entered. It's Lc. Canhamiana 'Azure Skies' AM/AOS. For some reason the colours on this small file look a bit artificial, but the larger file looks better.

Oh very nice!

I find that OB displays my images a bit fuzzier than other display programs like photoshop or Microsoft image viewer, etc. Same image just not as crisp on OB. I'm wondering if that has to do with the way I'm saving jpegs. I usually save them at 10 or higher in photoshop but have ICC profile checked off in the save options as I discovered it is not recognized by my digital photo frame. Any ideas what it could be?

I don't find that they look fuzzier, although being a very small image could lend to that. In Photoshop I save the small file for web & devices (under File - Save for Web & Devices). It should save it in a way that shows best for the web. I usually don't have much of a problem with color being affected, but do in this case-not sure why. I just use the Adobe 1998 colour profile for most things as it is widely accepted. I should see if this photo got changed somehow. Might be why the colour is off

Not sure about the links but is the file too big to post? Have you posted pics before?

That is a stunning Catt! Great photo too, the colors don't look artificial on my end. Hope you removed the text in your submitted image.
