Chris, Repeat after me. Files size can be no larger than 50k. File size can be no larger than 50k. File size can be no larger than 50k. File size can be no larger than 50k. There are really only three rules to this group: 1-File size can be no larger than 50k; 2-You can only post one image per week; 3-No "hands of man" should be evident within the photo. It's not that we don't want to critique your images. It's that you blatantly ignore the rules that were set up to make this site more efficient and more user friendly to all of us. I personally don't like any of the images you have posted but I have no problem with that. I do have a problem however with your total disregard for the rest of us in this group. My hope is that from this point on "NO ONE" will comment on your images until you grow up and act responsibly to the group. You are not doing us a favor by posting. We are doing you a favor by replying. Maybe you should remember that.

Ok, file size was too big. I do not have any problems with any of you, I just want to know what you think of this picture. My problem with the file size issue is that compared with the original 120k image, this one lacks any quality - you cannot see any detail, and as such you can find problems without even looking.

Chris I think its your best image to date. you have really improved. don`t worry about the silly little rules.Josh p.s. the water is a little dirty LOL;)

Chris,

I agree that this is your best image so far. In fact you have really succeded in that when I look at this image I find myself wanting to be there. I can see two areas where it could be improved. First it could be sharper and second the lighting is rather flat. If you could return to this scene and shoot it under better lighting conditions you might end up with a real winner. As far as the file size goes, I've posted images in here that have been larger than 50K, despite them being smaller than that on my photopoint site. I dont know how that happens, but it does.

1st. Gary grow a brain, arn't rules in photographt meant to be broken so give a little slack on so called rules here. I may winge if the size of his image was 200k. Anyway it not a bad image but as someone pointed the water being dirty does detract from the image. but you can't always get what you want

I was kidding about the water. I thought it was pretty absurd. It was in reference to a silly critique you recieved before. Much bad advice here. Run.
